Brass Pulley for My TT


I recently had a machine shop make a Brass pulley for me to try, it is working great but; I am seeing some yellowish dust which I assume is brass. Is this normal? I don't have much knowledge of Brass so I am looking for answers??? Will this stop after a while or not? The belt is made of Mylar.. I have cleaned it off a couple times but it is still producing it...

Cymbals are made of brass, as are saxes, etc. Brass oxidizes, which is why cymbals become tarnished. Not a good material for a pulley, imo. You could have it chrome plated, I suppose.
I would hazard a guess that the friction of mylar belt is polishing the brass, therefore, leaving a slight residue.  This is not a bad sign as the smoother the brass surface becomes, the better molecular adhesion. 
brf,
I am hoping you are right, that's what I am thinking also. That the shop didn't polish it enough I guess time will tell.
Brass is soft and a bad choice for a pulley. The mylar belt may polish a spot and stop, or it may continue to keep cutting it and producing brass powder.

Precision pulleys are made from stainless steel. 
invictus005,
Yes I agree my other pulley is made from SS, he told me he would make one from SS if I wanted it. 

Update:

So I had the machine shop make another pulley from SS and wouldn't ya know it , it is also leaving a residue. So now it is either the belt itself or something the shop used on the material I guess???


Update:
Turns out it was the belt leaving the residue, kinda weird though none of the belts I used in the past did this... I am thinking maybe because I am near the end of the roll of Mylar had something to do with it?
