  • This is a simple project that you can do with your pillar drill or drill press
    a circle is cut out using a hole saw and is then mounted on a pillar drill a chisel is then used to make a pulley

    Thank you very much for this easy way to make pulleys. To buy them is so expensive. And I am making them for a deck for blinds. Great job!!!

    Being limited as far as tools go i love to see idea's like this, thanks man.

      Thanks for the sub mate much appreciated,there has been about of doubt of this method but its great in a pinch also i like pushing the limits with tools I have some good stuff coming up.
      Thanks for watching

    Nice job but you really should just knock together a quick lathe (or buy a cheap one). The problem with this approach to making a pulley is that the bearings in a pillar drill aren't designed for sideways loading and will rapidly wear and eventually fail. As soon as they start to wear you can kiss goodbye to accurately drilling holes.

      What about a bench grinder?

      cNCtrl, thank you for keeping my drill press bearings. I used a 3 in hole cutter like
      Mr. Howbridge, then clamped 3 hacksaw blades and slowly, without too much side force, shaped a slight groove. (Beginner 3 hole deadeye lanyard tightened)

    still looks like a lathe to me :)
    i like it when ppl come up with working solutions with alternate tools. there are so many ways to accomplish similar things. thanks!

    I need a much larger pulley than my hole saws go to, but you gave me some great ideas to work with. I think I may be able to use a band saw for the initial "circle" cut, then use your method to true it up and make the groove.

      My brother just gave me a bunch of wood lath tools he got from somewhere too. I didn't have a lath, but I cleaned them up anyway and was going to just store them away. Now instead I'm going to put them to work :-)

    Hi, what wood would you recommend? I want it to be durable so I don't know if MDF is a good choice for me.. But I have honestly no idea though.

    • @TomHowbridge
      @TomHowbridge  8 років тому

      Plywood, take care though as plywood is a lot harder to turn.

    • @Commiefornia

      I know this is kind of late. :-) But UHMW plastic would be a good material.

  • @toddpnewton
    @toddpnewton 7 років тому +9

    Be careful. You can ruin your drill press putting lateral loads on it like that.

    Here's a question... What is the best way to secure a wood pulley to a metal shaft???

    • @TomHowbridge
      @TomHowbridge  7 років тому

      Cut a slot in the metal shaft with an angle grinder then file a slot in the pulley then drive a screw or tap an nail in to act as a keyed shaft.

  • @samTollefson
    @samTollefson 3 роки тому

    This is the second video that shows this trick but neither shows how to attach to a steel rod with set screws!?! Nice pulley, now, how do you attach it?

    • @TomHowbridge
      @TomHowbridge  3 роки тому

      This was just a pulley that spins on a shaft, you could easily cut a slot with a bigsaw and use it on a keyed shaft though, or even key it will a screw.

    • @samTollefson
      @samTollefson 3 роки тому

      @@TomHowbridge I recently made some wooden pulleys to power one of those Chinese leather sewing machines. I glued 2" discs to each side of the pulley and drilled 1/16" holes through the center then drilled corresponding holes in the 8mm shaft to insert finish nail pins. It has worked good so far.

    yes

  • @BengtRosini13
    @BengtRosini13 5 років тому

    that's a good way to bend the spindle of your drill press. probably costs more than you paid for the press originally for a new spindle.... get er done dude....couple more pullies like that and you'll have a big piece of junk on your hands...

    I checked a lot of handbooks with woodworking plans. Instructions from woodprix are the best I think.
