I can't seem to locate a parts listing for the power stand. I need to find the removable safety key and the v-belt ( or the length of the belt so I can purchase locally ). Does anyone have a clue where I should look?

the safety key is part #513411 and currently $4.52. the length of the belt could be determined by measuring with a tape around the pulleys. you id not say what tool you are putting on the stand and i'm not sure if all spt's use the same belt. ie: different pulley sizes. the length may not change that much bit i don't know for sure. i made my own replacement keys from a piece of 1/4" dowel with a short piece of 1/8" dowel and a piece of a popcicle stick for the handle.

A picture or pictures of the replacement key would be GREAT!

ok, here is a pic of my "replacement saftey key" and for what it's worth the belts on my proplaner and bandsaw are both 38 inches long by 1/2" wide.

Thanks for giving me a "Now why didn't I think of that?" moment!

I like to use 1/2" link (Power-Twist) belts as they can be made for what length you want. I normally buy the 4' or 5' link belts and assemble it to the length I need. It is very quick to add or remove a link once the belt tension is checked.

Thank you all very much for the great information. I continue to be so impressed with the people participting on this forum. It is one of the best I have ever seen. The assistance the members provide one another is without a doubt unmatched.
