My 10 inch craftsman table saw has a 1 hp 3450 motor. I need to replace the pulleys and any suggestions on pulley size would be appreciated.

I have seen replacement pulleys and belts in several woodworking and tool catalogs. Most were higher quality pulleys than original and also had diameters that allowed a slight reduction in blade speed. Slowing the blade some will reduce burning the wood and create more torque for cutting. Also vibration is improved. The attached link is to Woodcraft, they have pulley and belt upgrades for the Craftsman for around $55.

Try to get cast iron pullys, they work better than zinc ones. Better traction on the belt, and don't expand with heat of use and come off the shaft.

Hi Bill,

My 10" Craftsman table saw is direct drive at 3450 rpm. Therefore I would guess if yours is belt driven with a 3450 rpm motor that the pulleys should be the same size for both the drive and driven ends. The 3450 rpm will yield about 9000 surface feet per minute for a 10" blade. It has always been my understanding that wood is best cut with about 6000-8000 sfpm so I would not want to increase the speed any.

Some saws are 4800 and 5000 RPM - and they burn the wood with almost any rip or combination blade that you put in them. Keep the RPM at 3400.

Unless you are running your saw 10 hours a day in a cabinet shop I would strongly suggest that you keep it to the mfg. specs. Pulley's are alot cheaper than electric motors. I rip ALOT of oak on a Craftsman saw and found out a long time ago that the blade makes the differance. Frued makes some of the best but, be prepaired.$$. I have one in my mitre saw that cost more than the saw itself. But, the results are great.
