Best timing belt and pulleys type for minimum backlash

[birchy]

Damn, I wish I'd seen that chart before! I only chose T5 belts because someone on here recommended them when I started the build. I know you say pulleys are "cheap" but I've only recently bought two T5 belts from beltingonline at a cost of £9 each and 4 pulleys at just over £10 each with boring and grub screws. So that's almost £60 of "cheap" parts for the scrap bin. In hindsight, I can see that HTD5 pulleys and belts would of been a much better choice for cost, availability AND backlash reasons. Oh well, we live and learn.


EDIT: Just a FYI, http://www.bearingstation.co.uk/ are generally a bit cheaper and have a "price match guarantee", however they don't offer a machining service.
