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.
