Thanks in advance for any info.

Thanks for everyone who has replied. I will remove the pulley from
the tablesaw and bring it to ACE to find a matching key. I will let
you know how this goes.

I cannot go to Sears to get a replacement part because that part
doesn't have a part number. The advice from Sears PartDirect customer
service is to order the pulley and hope that the pulley comes with the
key. She was not sure either. Obviously I didn't order it.
