Re: Working With Cable for Elevator
Pulleys - McMaster has some real cheap solid plastic pulleys we used when we were still doing lifts.
Cable - 3/32 steel stranded cable with a nylon jacket. Use crimps and thimbles on the ends you want to hook to. You need to strip the jacket before using crimps. This cable seems to bend very well when needed yet resisit kinking.
Grounding - or making a permanent end. Drill 3 1/8" holes in a row. Thread through the holes and pull tight. We never had one of these fail
