Sorry - brain was elsewhere - I meant glueing together several bits of ply to get the 2" thick.Laminating ?
Sorry - brain was elsewhere - I meant glueing together several bits of ply to get the 2" thick.Laminating ?
Making slices out of e.g. 1/4" ply or MDF, with fairly accurate holes in the centre, then gluing them together and clamping with a 14mm rod or tube through the holes to keep them lined up? Then a final sand to smooth off the outer surface.Laminating ?
I wouldn't use a mill.Hi
I’m looking for someone to make me a one off part via a metal lathe hopefully or 3D printed poss..
i need a flat ( non cambered ) belt sanding wheel made from Aluminium or similar
(lightweight) It would need to be 100mm diameter by 50mm cross section and with a centred 14 mm thread ( if not a thread , a centred hole for a m14 thread to pass through where i can put a nut on the other side )
The cross wheel width is the most essential measurement the diameter could be a different size so if someone already has something similar that could be modified a little if need be then great..
Sadly i’ve no large or mill yet or i would make my own ..
A price and turnaround time scale please if there’s someone out there who can help..
Many thanks

4 inch flat circle on a lathe is a basic operation.Would cutting your own Aluminium circle suffice? Or is this a simple 100mm x 50mm cylinder with a 14mm hole or threaded hole? Your mention of cross section usually denotes an area not a length.
If a thin circular disc, could you ‘lumiweld’ or weld on a 14mm ID pipe/tube, then extend the hole, by drilling, through the disc?
Alternatively, drill your own hole through a piece of bought-in Al round section bar (available on ebay for £20. Sand it flat after installation.
You would be very lucky to get a 100mm diameter cut perfectly flat on a lathe - depending on the precision desired by yourself, of course. You may have noticed that cylinders, made on a lathe, never wobble when stood on end? That is because of that very slight concave surface.
Cross wheel width. Do you mean depth?Hi

Plus 1 for me as well..Laminating ?
Ah I see.. how quick do you want this.Sorry - brain was elsewhere - I meant glueing together several bits of ply to get the 2" thick.
So it will need boring out?
Either would be fineI'm confused by the m14 thread. Do you actually want to thread a bolt into it or just pass it through?
3D printed left hander would be easy. Aluminium version would be more expensive as I dont have one. lolIf it is going on his motor, it will need some form of driving key. If just a thread it may need to be a left hander to avoid undoing itself. Likewise, a bolt may need some thing to prevent it undoing spontaneously.
The plot thickens.
The OPs photo shows a keyway..If it is going on his motor, it will need some form of driving key. If just a thread it may need to be a left hander to avoid undoing itself. Likewise, a bolt may need some thing to prevent it undoing spontaneously.
