Timing Pulley size & Dimensions

Check out my post above your last post. Chain drive should work fine, any idea what the backlash will be, if any? One of the reasons why I went with the timing belt drive was to virtually eliminate the backlash, and it's very quiet. For the belt reduction I used a 10 tooth and a 40 tooth pulley. The 40 tooth is linked on the same shaft to another 10 tooth for my final drive pulley. Your sprocket is going to affect the final drive ratio, so take that into consideration when doing your calculations.

Here's where I got my stuff for timing pulleys. Best prices I've found anywhere. http://shop.polybelt.com/40L050-Aluminum-Pulley-40-tooth-MPB-OD4744-inch-P40L050-6FA.htm I couldn't find the link earlier.

Yeah, you're right. Hardly worth making them at those prices, unless you have lots of time and no money. :))

Yes, thankyou for the link! I too am looking for the best price on timing pulleys and belts for a small belt/disk sander I picked up a while ago. I still need to learn of their shipping costs. I see they charge $3.95 for handling.

My table saw may need a belt too.
 
Found this vid on the tube. Thought it might help out in this thread.
