Re: New member, owner of SB vertical mill
Sorry about being tardy on your approval. I must have been asleep at the switch.
thats a nice Mil.l. SB tended to use proprietary pulleys. You may need to make your own. I rebuilt a SB Drill press some years ago and converted it to a multi speed unit with an extra step pulley in the middle. This was a SB option. I made my center pulley. It took a few days but worked out in the end. SB tended to use standard bearings. The noisy ones can be replaced. I would first try a very light lubricant such as Kroil and see if it quiets. Often the old grease has solidified and a BIT of light oil will soften it up.
