Recently purchased a Bridgeport mill with a "M" head that is missing the motor and pulley. I called Hardinge and was quoted almost $1000 for the motor. Not really in my budget, but couldn't pass up a machine in very good condition otherwise for $500.
I'm going to build a adapter plate and mount a face mount motor to the original mount. Next problem is the pulley. I know I can buy a new one for $250, but I need the practice so I figured I would make my own.
Are the motor and drive pulleys the same size, just flipped over?
If not, where can I find the diameters for the motor pulley?
