George,
The pulleys have to be specific sizes and bores to fit the machine, stock pulleys won't fit and the guy doesn't have a lathe............................................. .......John S -

There are different bore sizes on almost all the pullys in RGD site ie same size pully but with different bores.

I guess it'll be cheaper for himto stripthe machine down where he thinks the suspect poblem is? and replace the offending component.
Arceurotrade do spares for the X2 mill.....

Scott,if you're going to strip it down? suggest you strip it down in sections? and over a deepish tray to catch any unsuspecting ball bearings,springs,ect ect as I found out on my lathe a spring holding a ball bearing in place went the other side of the room(needle in a haystack senario) took me ages to locate where it went and her indoors thought I'd flipped because I was brushing up. lol
Incidently this spring and ball bearing was in the headstock housing that put a bit of stiffness to the Hi-Low gear lever.
