Thread: Dynalink / Carbatec MC900 pulleys

You could try Hare and Forbes they seem to have a similar lathe, I think.

Cheers Tony.

Tony, yep, that's exactly the same lathe, looks like there are a few rebrandings going on.

Will drop them an email or call moday!

Thanks for the info - although I fear I'll get silly prices around the $100 for the pulleys (

I've got a spare set of the drive side pulleys available

My thread on experiences replacing the pulleys is Jammed MC900 Lathe speed adjuster

Hey there Fuzzie, thank you for your offer on the pulleys, but I'd struck the same issue you'd have....and to fix that I'd need access to a decent metal lathe ( which if I had, I'd likely turn a new set of steel pulleys ;-)

Did you end up sourcing replacements locally? May I ask what $ damage?

I know everyone keeps saying that for a $400 lathe, spending $100 isn't much, but with money tight, that $100 has greater priorities ahead of it going towards this.

As per the other thread I had unexpected luck finding a secondhand part that fitted at Carbatec (somebody remembered seeing one in a crate on the bottom shelf at the back of the service department ). I can't remember the price, but it was less than a new one in Oz and less than machining the oversized part, so it must have been around $40.

As best I can measure the dimensions of my spare are:

• Overall pulley diameter is 120mm.
• The pulleys are for a nominal shaft size of 1 inch, however I measure the inside diameter of the hole as 24mm.
• The machined section that fits into the yoke is 35mm outside diameter and 14mm deep from the shoulder to the capture ring groove. The wall thickness of that section is 5.5mm.
