    help - where can i buy timing belt pulleys for a Vectrax upgrade

    I'm upgrading an older Vectrax cnc Big Bridgeport style mill.
    I bought the Nema 42 kit from AutomationTechnologies.
    Nema 42 motors are 3/4" bore. and the original pulleys are smaller.
    I have L belts and pulleys 3/4 wide by .375 pitch but i need to replace the motor pulleys.

    Who do you recommend ?

    Last time I needed to replace motors I just bored the pulleys to fit the new motors.

    Or a good option is Ametric https://www.ametric.com/

    3/4 wide seems a little light for that size machine the old Bridgeport CNC machines use 1"wide H section Timing Pulleys and Belts

    Here is a good supply also
