Hi. It's me again. I'm still fussing with my table saw after
replacing the belt. The pulley stays in place now, I think thanks to a
good cleaning. But no matter where I position it on the shaft, I hear a
loud clicking when the motor is running. I think (but I can't be 100%
sure) that the sound is coming from the motor and not the saw arbor. If
I run the motor without the belt it runs smoothly.

This is a 2hp motor and a Rexon RW10 table saw. I bought it in 1993.
Do you think one of the motor bearings needs replacing? What's normal
for wear and tear? Sure it's been 14 years, but it probably only sees a
few hours of duty per month. I hope I don't have to shell out $300 for a
new motor!

Sounds like you are still having trouble with that pulley Owen. I have
had that problem with a jointer pulley. You have to make sure the sets
screw is TDC on the key.

TDC? Top Dead Centre?

So you think the pulley is rocking/wobbling? I really cranked the set screw
and the pulley isn't wandering. I'll be very happy to try a new
pulley/key/set screw before taking more drastic measures if you really think
it'll help.
