Shopsmith Forums

I traded my motorcycle for a 520. The gentleman that owned it before built cabinets. The system didn’t come with a band saw, 4 inch jointer or 6 inch sander however I have picked those up.
The system did, however, include two power stands that I want to mount the band saw and jointer on. The stands have the belt drive pulleys but I need the pulley attachment that goes on the band saw and jointer.
I know that Shopsmith does not manufacture the stands anymore.
Where can I get these Pulleys.

Back in the day when we all had 'hardware' stores, I would have suggested them.

Now days a bit of searching may be required. Industrial suppliers such as Grainger, MSC ... come to mind.

My local ACE hardware carries pulleys of that type. If you can't find them locally, you can definitely order them from McMaster Carr. Probably Amazon as well, but it will be harder locate the products on the Amazon site.

I've attached a PDF of an instruction sheet that gives the recommended power-stand pulley sizes for your SPT's (Special Purpose Tools).

To go McMaster-Carr website and search for v-belt pulley

You can likely find the sizes you want.

I don't know if you live in a rural or urban area but if you are rural or suburban, stores like Tractor Supply or Rural King will have a substantial selection of pulleys.
