    Hello! Advice on Axminster ts250 drive pulley

    Just a thought, on both photos the belt (is it a grooved belt not a simple V belt) doesn't look as if its fitted properly on the larger pulley - almost as if it needs moving inwards 1 groove if that makes sense. What does the big shiny nut do? Could it be linked to an adjustment?

    Punching tool for ferrules

    With the nicely rounded end to the handle as opposed to a flat end.I don't think you can fit a ferrule but if you do then a smart whack hammer with nail punch should do the job. Or a 6" nail filed to a triangular point plus hammer will do as well
