How can I trim up an idler pulley?

[bjtheman1]

I have an idler pulley I need to trim down a little b/c it's too wide. How can I go about this?

What are you trying to do?

If you have access to a good belt sander lay it flat and let her rip. A new pulley the right size should be cheap if you cant figure it out.

I need to shave a little off one side, it's a little too wide. I think my neighbor has a belt sander, I can check with him.

You can also lay it flat against a cut off wheel. Be careful doing either.

I said be careful. Im also talking the big 14 inch cut off saw.

A lathe would work best
