Service from MKC TOOLS
I called Skip at MKC TOOLS on Sunday afternoon and placed my order, 2 items where his machined and balanced ER motor and HS pulleys. I Pay Palled him Monday when he sent the Pay Pall Invoice.
He emailed a bit ago just finishing up the pulleys and should get it out yet today. I take it do to bore size he has to change that for the ER and then what ever he does to balance them.
I have dealt with Skip b4 as well as HogWinslow for ER stuff, both top notch.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

Yes the 13/16" head stock pulley is not an off the self item. My understanding is that Skip makes his pulleys from scratch from raw bar stock and not modifying stock pulleys.ERLover wrote:I called Skip at MKC TOOLS on Sunday afternoon and placed my order, 2 items where his machined and balanced ER motor and HS pulleys.

John, good to know, I assume then, he angles the pulley sides for the cog belt dimensions if you order them along with it as did.jsburger wrote:Yes the 13/16" head stock pulley is not an off the self item.

Re: Service from MKC TOOLS
I got an email about an hour ago from Skip, the "check" is in the mail.LOL
I guess he did not get them done yesterday in time for his mail pick up.
Wow John from scratch, just like mom makes her baking things from.
That is service

I am in Sacramento now to visit my wife's family. Drove from Hooper 10 1/2 hours. Brought a home made New York style cheese cake that I made. 2 1/2 pounds of cream cheese and 7 eggs and a little sour cream along with orange and lemon zest.

Re: Service from MKC TOOLS
Well I went to put the new pulleys on today, motor pulley slid right on, HS pulley shaft was cleaned up with 220 wet and no burrs or any thing feeling ruff, a 32nd" chamfer on the edge of it, a little 3n1 oil on the shaft, I could only get the pulley on about an 1/8" at most with hand pressure, hard to pull off, I had to wiggle it a bit, I put a sanding disc on the spindle and turned that by hand and some more 220 on a block on the pulley shaft, same thing. Emailed Skip about it, have not heard back. I dont want to Gorilla it on. It should fit like a glove, but not like it is now on OJs hand.
