I got a pulley puller to pull the pulley off of the drill press I bought from Little Machine Shop. The problem is that the screw was too big to fit into the bore of the pulley. I put a bolt in as a spacer in order to get the pulley off but immediately saw an opportunity for a lathe project for my new mini lathe. That's what this project is about.
I decided to make an adapter that would fit into the pulley puller and allow a smaller screw to be used in small pulley bores. I got the screw done and am now working on the adapter. I just need to put an external 9/16-16 thread on it and it'll be done. Turning the part down for the thread produced a lot of chips. My poor lathe needs a good cleaning.
