My subject planer had an incident in which after years of reliable use an internal screw came loose and tore up the cutterhead pulley and the screw.
I think I found one on eBay that will work, if the thousands of an inch are okay - still checking on that.
However, the ones that I'm finding that are available are missing the two two positive stop notches (idk what else to call them) into which a lever drops to lock the pulley in place whilst changing blades.
Maybe I don't need those positive stops. To my assessment the only function they have is to hold the cutterhead in place whilst changing the blades. I suppose I can do that without the cutterhead being locked into place.
Does anyone have a know reliable source where I can get this pulley and help me reduce my searching time?
Below is a link to one I found on eBay. Notice that it does not have the positive stops as the one in the positive stops link has.
