Post by: poppabear on November 23, 2013, 09:03:31 AM

Any body got a source for an economical Cartridge spindle and.....a source for "Cogged" pulleys and belts??

The guy I used to use, got bought out, and now the prices have sky rocketed there.

I am looking for a Cartridge spindle that is ATC capable, and can take an ISO (or CAT) 20, or 30 tool holder.
Looking for 1/2" to 3/4" wide Cogged Pulleys/belts.......

Scott,

By "cogged" you mean timing belts?  Best source I know is SDP-SI.com.  There are some cheaper sources for specific types, lik XL, but SDP-SI has by far the best selection, and many different families (partial to GT2 myself) in both Imperial and Metric sizes, and countless different pulley styles.  Their prices are reasonable, and most items are in-stock.

Regards,
Ray L.

I've been using B and B Manufacturing for belts and pulleys. Even better selection than SDP-SI in some belt types.

There's a BT30 spindle here:

Or, go to China:
