    I would like to use a servo motor that has a 3/8" shaft with a bundle I just ordered,V-Slot® NEMA 23 Linear Actuator (Belt Driven) Bundle. The bundle provides a 20 tooth timing pulley that fits a 1/4" shaft. I am looking for a source or a solution that allows me to use my motors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    By a lathe
    buy tooling for it
    learn to use it
    buy more tooling (repeat these 2 lines for a while)
    mount the pulley accurately
    bore and ream to 3/8"
    mount on motor

    simple (-:

    Now that sounds quite cost (D)effective. Wow, you work cheap. Can you turn me one wood screw for 10 cents? LOL. McMaster- Have a great day.

    Thing is, if you build stuff, once you have a lathe you will use it often. I certainly cannot envision life without my lathe. Used it on Sunday to shorten some 3mm bolts for the 3D printer I am building. Yes, one could just grind the end off with a Dremel clone, I have 3 of those, but the lathe does such a nice job and much quieter.

    but it was all a bit of a jest (-: you can just order the parts, quicker and cheaper.

    Agree with that! Got me a South Bend lathe about 6 years ago and wondered how i ever managed without it.
