I have acquired a 4" craftsman table saw model # 572-2474 and it is in excellent shape with all accessories but a manual and I am in need of the belt. I want to use it for small craft projects. I have ran this information through Google many times and many ways and can't find anything about it. Can you help?

I don't have a manual, but here are some options:


Enter "572-2474" at Sear Parts (http://www.searspartsdirect.com) for available parts (belt isn't).
Search the publications at Old Wood-working Machines (http://www.owwm.com/mfgIndex/detail.aspx?id=222&tab=3) for catalogs or manuals from similar saw models. Can also post a request for manual there.
I doubt the belt is a special. Take a pulley to any place selling belts and they should be able to fix you up. It's probably an A/4L cross section.
Another option is to use generic link belt (http://www.grizzly.com/products/Power-Twist-V-Belt-1-2-x-4-/H9815) for your pulley size. They are a bit more expensive but since I started using these on my tools, I'd never go back to regular belts.


Update: Ok, I was wrong - belt is a special... It appears the saw is the same as a Dremel 580. Belt is available on Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/Belt-for-Dremel-Table-Saw-Model-580-Craftsman-572-2474_W0QQitemZ380035203881QQihZ025QQcategoryZ20789 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem). One forum post I saw mentioned original belt tended to slip off. Toothed belts and pulleys are also available at most industrial suppliers like Grainger (http://www.grainger.com) or WMBerg (http://www.wmberg.com/).
