If you need a 3/16 x 3/16 x 1-in key this is it

Would Recommend

The one in a pulley in my table saw came loose and flew nowhere to be seen again. Luckily found that Lowes has these kind of oddballs in the hardware section. After a quick trip, I was back in business making more sawdust... but this time I put a gob of blue loctite to hold hold it and prevent vibration from loosening it again.

Key replacement on old Craftsman Bandsaw

Would Recommend

Needed this as a replacement for the key on a pulley from a 1970's-era Craftsman Bandsaw. It works! You can see the installation on my YouTube video - Pelado Creations.
