I have a 1 HP (I think) 10" craftsman table saw. I have been using it a lot lately and I cut thick hard wood. 8/4 Purple heart 8/4 Had maple and several other 4/4 hardwoods.
A few days ago, it started screaming like a banchee. Yesterday I noticed it starting up slowly. Eventually later in the evening, it stopped altogether. It pops the breaker when it trys to start. I took the belt off and started the motor. It runs, but, it still makes s similar although quieter screaming sound. The blade spins freely and the bearings do not seem noisy. I am pretty sure the motor is bad.
A new motor is $325. I am thinking the motor is too small for the wood that I am cutting. Cos is definitely a factor. Has anyone ever had a motor repaired? Is it worth it?
Any other comments would be helpful.
Thank You
Andy
