Ok, obviously the more steps the better.

But are there any foreseeable problems using a 1/2" chuck pulley and a 5/8" motor pulley in the drill press?

Thanks.

I settled on a 5=step aluminum pulley for the motor.

So, did you end up turning it yourself (more satisfying) on a lathe or
did you buy one (less satisfying), Darren?

Actually I won one on Ebay:

IOW, you bought one from an eBay vendor for $20.80. OK.

It was actually the cheapest 5-step pulley on Ebay. :-)

Yeah, that wasn't too bad a price. But "won" sounded like you got a
freebie. How's it working?

I did get another tool with it from the same seller.

Good sander. Dont be trying to use it as a polisher on your car or
boat though. Might work ok on granite with the right media

Pretty good machine for grinding fiberglass Quickly

I was hoping to use it to sand the paint off of some wood arcade cabinets I have. (Though it may be too much to strip the powder-coat from metal parts like the coin doors).

I received it along with the pulley from the same Ebay seller.

I would strongly suggest using a chemical paint stripper rather than a
high speed abrasive machine spinning 4000 rpm. Or you will have
"angel wings" all over the wood work. Just a suggestion.

Powder coat removal?

Best **** in the world for removing powder coating. Works pretty well
on many paints as well
