We are machining some 24T 5mm gt2 9mm width pulleys currently that we will be using on a prototype. I'll update with results.

We cut 2 test items on our router that felt really nice on the belt by hand, and the full set is being cut on a production cnc so I can only a high quality.

We cut off of the sdp-si CAD.
