Sherline WTL1024 parts

[Dicky Knee]

Hi All, I've just inherited a Sherline WTL 1024 lathe, with a knackered mandrel pulley. It's a four-speed pulley, with an Allen grubscrew in the second-smallest groove. Does anyone know where I might find a replacement for it? Sherline's US website wasn't much help.

DC stepped spindle pulley $20.25US treat it as a exercise in research and look a bit harder

Almost all pulleys are bought from an outside supplier and are standard items.

Take your pulley off and take it to a hardware store, motor shop, or engineers supply place.

If this is your lathe without the extension, you may figure a way to make the pulley you have work without spending more money on it. If it has one or two good grooves, use it for a while to see if you want to go forward. A photo of the pulley and the lathe headstock would help.

The lathes like the one in the photo are made in China to be the lowest price on the market. They are a generic lathe painted any number of colors, sold under any number of names.

Unfortunately that level of service will not be the case here in Oz.
Almost all of these places will tell you to go back to the manufacturer.

Agree, close up photos would be even better

If your lathe is one of the low end Chinese, the prices for a pulley are about what the lathe is worth. I have two of the Chinese, one free, the other $10. With a working motor and two 4 step pulleys each.

I also have a couple of "real" lathes, a Woodfast 20 inch swing bowl lathe and a 350mm swing Hegner.
