Re: Sprockets again?

You can purchase some sprockets from AndyMark, but try bearing supply stores. Around here (Toronto Ontario Canada) I use "Canadian Bearing" "Toronto Bearing" "Oshawa Bearing" "BMI" etc. Also McMaster Carr. All these sources should be able to sell you sprockets with the correct bore or they will likely sell you a stock bore sprocket. In this case, you to chuck it in a lathe (a drill press can also be used in a pinch) and drill the center out of it to the right size of your shaft. Then you drill and tap a hole in the side of the sprocket to install an allen key. You can also buy cheap keyway broaches which with the help of an arbor press (or something really heavy, a car jack and some creativity) are used to cut internal keyways:
