Tim,

I'm still of the advice to work on the pulley.

If you insist on taking down the shaft . . . 'fire up' the motor and start
with a medium mill file, then Crocus cloth, etc. Less work & get 'there'
quicker.

Regards & Good Luck,
Ron

BEFORE you start mucking about with the shaft . . . does it have a

Does the pulley have a keyway? If neither have a keyway, how is the
pulley
locked to the shaft?

No keyway on the shaft, just a flat. The pulley has a setscrew.

I really want to stay out of a machine shop just because I could
easily drop more getting the pulley on the shaft than the entire saw
is worth.
