I purchased a pair of machine matched "A" belts from Browning, and once I installed them I realized I wasted my time and money. The pulley grooves are worn unevenly after 60 years, so my matched belts are running unmatched. Is there anyone with a CNC lathe who offers pulley truing? Even if there were not enough aluminum left to get perfectly matched grooves any improvement would be beneficial.
Continuing will the rebuild, I started cleaning my tailstock. Unlike the rest of the lathe I have gone through, the tailstock base in is bad shape. Both the flat way and Vee way are worn badly. Do any of the bed regrinding companies offer tailstock regrinding? If I could get the base reground to a more accurate condition I can then shim up the tailstock top piece to proper height.
Thanks
