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.

I have got a replacement key from ACE, and installed it in my
tablesaw. It works fine now. Thanks for people here giving me the
direction.
