Some questions on XL Timing Belts, referenced at this page:
https://sdp-si.com/ss/PDF/26502043.PDF
1) It says the insert is aluminum, knurled. Does this mean the * bore * is
knurled or do they mean that the "interface" where the
insert fits into the plastic pulley body is knurled ?
2) What is "Spot Drill" referring to ? Just means where the hole for the set
screw is drilled ?
Thanks !

The outer of the insert will be knurled for good adhesion to the
plastic. The bore will be smooth.

?? Dunno...is not the hole for the set screw. Maybe a spot mark for
second hole if you want to drill one to put another screw in?

The pulley itself is polycarbonate - a rather soft plastic material.
The aluminum insert, to which the shaft is affixed, is knurled so that
it "grips" the polycarbonate material. You don't want the metal insert
to slip within the plastic pulley.
screw is drilled ?
That's exactly what that is. A spot drill is also distinct from the
familiar twist drill, in that it is like a rotary shaper, without the
twists to extract cut-away material. A shallow cut (as opposed to a
hole, all the way through) should be made in the shaft at the indicated
location for the set screw to engage.
You could ask these questions directly to the source (sdp-si) for truly
authoritative answers.
