Dremel table saw question

[Andrew Foster]

Not sure if this is the place to discuss tools, but we'll see. I've just acquired a Dremel 580-2 table saw, and to put it politely, it had not been treated kindly by a previous owner. Specifically, he had turned down the driven pulley on the saw spindle to a much reduced diameter, and had been using O rings instead of the Dremel belt.

Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the original pulley? Most importantly, I need the running diameter and the width between its flanges so I can make a copy, as replacement parts (other than the belt) are almost impossible to find. The manual is readily available from various sources, but it does not give any dimensions.

Thanks -

Andrew

Using Google, I found this;

I am not familiar with the Dremel Saw, but it may give you a clue, and there is an address in the US for spares....

Thanks for checking. I had checked the link to the SH Goode website before but didn't see any reference to Dremel spares. However, a phone call just now turned up the fact that they do indeed have stock of a number of parts, and are very helpful.
