I have an old Powermatic 45 lathe that I bought from a local school. Not too bad of shape but the maintenance department was the main user. They charged over the motor and I think through time the pulley got worn out. It wobbles. Anybody have any suggestions of where I might source one.
It’s the only part holding me back from starting this thing.
Thanks for any help.

Unclear as to what pully you need, check the OWWM site. There are always parts for sale there. Also if you have the part number see if it is still available on the powermatic/jet parts. I bought several parts from jet for my powermatic 90 that they still stocked.
When working I had more money than time. In retirement I have more time than money. Love the time, miss the money.

A machine shop can bore out the hole and add a bushing, if it has a key slot, then it gets more complicated. They will have to epoxy in the bushing, then recut the key slot. Call Grizzly and see if they have a lathe that is a knockoff of that design.
