Phil,
I would do as you suggest but there are a few impediments.
One is that the spindle bore of the lathe is 38mm while the bore of the faceplate is 60mm.
The second is getting my mitts on some 60mm+ .The local engineering supplies seems to be suffering cash flow problems as their stocks are are devoid of some essential sizes ie 60mm.
There are other vendors but they are asking a $100 cash buy at the counter. I guess its their way of saying we can't be bothered with small value orders.
The other hope is ring up the scrappy and ask if he sells to the public.Some have rules re PPE
Rob,
I'll post photos when it is finished.
Cheers
Grahame

Grahame, I think I have a couple of AL slugs around 70mm in diameter, 40mm thick/ long. Would that help any?

Hi Grahame,
Still solvable.
Using a slug of aluminium like Michael has, machine it to suit the bores then set up as normal then machine the slug out as you go.
The slug becomes sacrificial.
You could also use a piece of shaft approximately 75mm long and the same size as the bore of the bandsaw pulley.
Get a piece of 10 mm plate big enough to machine down to 60mm and bore a hole in the centre to take the shaft.
push the shaft through the hole in the plate until it sticks out about 6mm and place a weld around the short protruding end.
Set the shaft and plate up in the lathe and machine the plate outside diameter down to 60 mm.
Machine it out as before after you have used it to set up the pulley.
Phil
