Default Pulley for treadmill motor question

I don't own a lathe nor do I know anyone in the Portland OR area with
one. I did find a 43/64 drill bit at my hardware store which is 0.472 or
about 3 thou over. Is it feasible to use it and then use shim stock to take
up the difference? Or am I just begging for a wobbly pulley?

pulley with a 17MM bore? Alternatively would turning the shaft down
to 5/8 be feasible? Or maybe boring out a 5/8 pulley?


Do you owna lathe? Easy job to bore a pulley on the lathe. Don't even think
about working on the motor shaft.
