There is no universal table-saw pulley. A replacement has to match the shaft it mounts on (motor or arbor), the belt section, the original pulley diameter and the available clearance; changing diameter also changes blade speed. Measure the shaft and keyway with the saw unplugged, read the motor and saw manuals, and retain the manufacturer’s intended speed range. The general-purpose sheaves below are only candidates after those checks—not claimed direct replacements for any saw.

Buying tips

- Do not substitute a motor pulley for an arbor pulley simply because the bore matches.
- Keep guards in place and do not exceed the saw, motor, belt or pulley speed rating.
