• Long thread, very much appreciate all the views and comments.
  
  These are super handy to run steam accessories at more realistic (slower) speeds.
  
  Thanks again all.

• Why did you not use set screws on pulleys? You did a great job
  showing all the details that went into making the Vertical Transmission.
  I enjoyed every minute of this build.

  Carl I've used 3mm ones on all my other builds, but they can be a PITA. I've had slotted ones break a half a slot off. Allen key ones get rounded and they are a headache then to remove.
  I've bought some recently from an automotive shop and they are supposedly better quality. I'll give them a try and if they are, it will be easy to drill and tap and use them in these two builds.

  Ron the first time I ever touched a lathe and mill in my entire life was when they came off the back of the delivery truck
  
  Its been a fun learning curve and every time I use them I learn.

  Golly no Ron
  I just want to make sure that no one thinks I'm anything than what I am, a self taught (and always learning) backyard hobbiest
