I just purchased a nice Delta 14 bandsaw that is about 12 years old -
per the previous owner.
The driven pulley has a noticable side-to-side wobble that appears to
be due to the design of the pulley. The wobble is not noticable until I
tighten the set screw, which raises that side of the pulley a smidgen.
I have read references to others that contact Delta and get new parts.
What is the number for Delta? It seems that I can only go thru a local
lumber store and they don't seem to eager to just give me new part.
I am also looking for a source for a machined pulleys. Does anybody
have a source they have used?
I found a couple of sources on the internet but by the time I navigated
thru the site I did not find a pulley of the correct size.
Thanks for the info.

Risking sounding like someone that should not be around power

What did you see when you Googled delta saw parts or Delta saw? I have
found manuals for a lot of Delta tools at their website. That may help
you with your pulley search. A motor store may also have pulleys.

Almost any parts for a Delta tool are easily available
from a number of sources but Delta would be my first choice.
Inturra also carries a large line of bandsaw parts..
You don't have to go "through" anybody...call Delta.
You need a parts breakdown for your saw but again,
Delta offers most of that on their web site.
The link below points to a typical bandsaw.

If you are looking for a good pulley, call Iturra designs.
Have you used www.google.com before? It is a great resource for old
tool questions, sometimes. I see someone directed you to Delta's
website without the Google hint.

Try:
http://www.deltamachinery.com/
Delta Tools is now owned by Black & Decker so don't be surprised if the
parts site looks DeWalt/Black & Decker.
If you try to order on-line you'll have to create a user name/password.
I've had mine for a number of years and have never gotten spam,
annoyance calls, etc. from them.
