I have a Craftsman contractor style tablesaw. Recently I lost the key
that is supposed to be placed in the keyway of the motor shaft. This
key is a small metal bar, and is ued to lock the motor shaft and the
pulley together. Unfortunately, the parts list of the tablesaw
doesn't have a part number for this part. I have called the Sears
PartDirect; but they don't have any info about it either.

I would like to know where and how to get that key. Is it a very
common part?

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.

The Sears customer rep is giving the usual helpful information they
always give.

There should be an expoloded view of the saw that should show the key
and keyway. There will be a table of components with the view. The Sears
idiot should be able to obtain the part number from this list.

Remember I said SHOULD, with Sears that doesn't always mean COULD.
