Hey guys, I just got my MotionKing steppers in today, and was trying to find a reasonable source for pulleys to build my belt reduction. The MK motors have a 14mm shaft. I want to go either 3:1 or 4:1 on reduction (still debating). After searching for some time (all afternoon), I have struck out in finding 14mm bore timing pulleys. Any suggestions for a US source for these critters?

I gave up too and ended up using 10mm i/d pulleys and resigning myself to drilling them out.

I used 15 tooth XL and bore it for 14mm shaft, my motor had a keyway so I made a passage in pulley 2.5mm for the key on the mill also. and it did not break.
It works ok.

Thanks guys, it looks like I'll follow suit and bore the hole out to fit.

Mike, I appreciate the link and part #'s. I looked on thier site yesterday, but didn't see any 14mm bores, so I didn't pursue things very deeply. I'll order these this week, and get my reductions built.
