I'm getting pretty irritated trying to find timing pulleys/belts. Ballscrews are fairly easy to find but trying to find belts and pulleys for a reasonable price is a pain in the ass.
I'm trying to connect 10mm ballscrew shafts to 1/2" motor shafts. At this point I'm thinking I'm probably going to have to direct connect them but for my Z axis I'm going to need to mount a pulley to a THK DIR 1605 driven ballnut (apparently no stock option exists so I'm gonna have to find a way to machine the pulley and drill the holes ).
What's the deal? What is the most common form of these bloody things? Standard stuff (ie. XL L M etc.)? Metric stuff (3m 5m 8m)? It seems like there is tonnes of proprietary stuff (which is super irritating).
Any suggestions?
