Modify conveyor Wheel increase O.D. to 295mm chamfer one side, bolt to existing boss

A bakery experienced a conveyor breakdown where the belt had tracked to one side causing it to snag and jam, breaking the Mesh belt support rods. Arrow Engineering were called in on Friday at 5pm with the need to get the drive back up and running. As a quick fix a 295mm Acetal disc was turned and bolted to the existing hub, which stopped the belt riding up and over the conveyor wheel, 40 rods were turned and supplied over the weekend and the belt was back up and running for Monday.
