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.

And it would be out of stock. And the sales folks would have no idea what
it is or what it does.

No point in wasting all of that time. A key is a key. Any hardware store
will carry it. Just take the pulley in hand and pick one out that fits the
keyway. There is nothing unique or special about the key Sears would
provide.

If all else fails take the model number of the saw to Sears and order a
replacement key. Might cost more but it will be the right one.
Maybe ;^).

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.

Jay,
Try your local ACE or other hardware store. Mine sells them and we're
a small little
town with lots of farmers nearby. I suspect you should avoid the big
box guys.
Go where they sell nails by the pound.

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.

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.

If you're in the US go by any Harbor Freight and get their Keystock
Storehouse #93199 or #95843 for about 6 bucks. Should be one in it
that is either the right size or can be easily made to fit with a few
minutes filing or dremeling.

And there would four of them hanging on a peg, behind dryer exhaust hose
clamps, in the appliance section.
