Hey fellow printers! Wondering if anyone knows where to buy a large V-belt pulley with a 1.5 inch bore hole to drive my new C&P. Grateful for any leads, I’ve searched the internet up and down with no luck.

Lacy,
I have an 8 x 12 New Style C&P. To avoid a heavy-duty motor, extra flywheel, and belt I came up with a different way of motorizing my press. You can see a video of how I did it on my website.

Under, Motorizing the Press. The purists hate it, but it works great.

Where are you located? If in the country, farm supply stores usually have them. If in the city, check industrial supply stores.
