Thanks for the "You ****" Smoke (Never thought I'd say that). Yes, The manual says around 300lbs without a motor. I'm 73 and still wrestling these machines around the shop. OK, Maybe I'm not to smart but I still enjoy it. My plan is to disassemble it completely and clean lubricate and adjust as...

I spotted this around 80 miles away. It wasn't running and doesn't have the blade insert. It does have the rare belt guard and the factory casters that seem good. The seller had a good price on it and would throw in a newer(not Sears) that ran fine. I looked at the new motor and it is a 1725RPM...

Thanks trents99. I'll look into those blades.

I am tuning up this 24" saw for my nephew. Neither he nor I have any experience with a jig saw. I purchased some 5" plain end 15TPI blades and they cut good with stock that is 1/4" or less. 1/2 and 3/4" thick wood and it is really a slog to feed the board. I have the saw running at the slowest...

I think its time to have some closure on this one. After making a number of resistance measurements and talking to folks who know more than me (not hard to find), I've determined that the start winding is staying energized at all times. This motor is (s)****. Thanks all, Sub

Thanks, I have ordered a new capacitor. Any danger of blowing that one as well by mis-wiring the motor?

I'm not sure if it has been worked on internally before. The wiring has obviously been redone in the connection box. Yes, I would like to ID the 4 wires and how to connect them. I've not had this situation before so I'm learning as I go. I know the start windings should have a higher...

OK, Lets get all hypothetical now. This is a fairly new motor . I'm also working on a Delta RI motor from around 1940. Also fun. All I've seen so far is a bad cap. Would that explain the behavior? If its not hardware, then lets consider voltage mismatch. What are some of the symptoms of being...

Currently there is NO capacitor. The start (clearly marked) cap is pooched. If the cap was the only issue, I would have ordered one already. My gut tells me that there is more going on and that is why I'm asking. I'd like to determine what wires I have in the pecker head have the correct...

I know, another bad capacitor thread right? Is that really all that's wrong? How does it start without the capacitor. Why the hum at speed ? All of the bad capacitor repairs I've done have had the symptom of humming at startup and it barely moving. This one moves but hums once it gets up to...

What specifically do you need pictures of Jim?

I have been working on a vintage Atlas 74 drill press with a replacement motor. I just purchased this and I'm trying to get a few things sorted out. When I purchased the DP the motor had a loud hum but it seem to start and run OK. I just had it apart for bearings and it is not the greatest...

I spotted this in an ad recently and, for what the guy wanted for it, well resistance was futile. I look for 50-60's Craftsman 10" Saws to rebuild. I've done more than a few and they are impressive. Once I got this one home, I did some research. It is actually an 8" that looks an awful lot like...

I just need the chrome handle pictured. Thanks

I'm restoring a Craftsman 10" from around 1952 model 103.27520. Both stop collars are missing. I can see the 45 getting lost but the 90 degree is pretty much captive. Anyway, I need two that will fit a 1/2" Acme thread. I'm sure other machine may have the same collar. I'll need the brass set...

Yup! I did a little more cleaning and there it was on the motor as you suggested. Now I have a manual and it says its an 80" blade. Any help picking out a blade? Size? TPI? brand? Sub

I was at a buddies yesterday and he is an artist that works in wood. He mentioned that he couldn't keep blades on his band saw. I restore old machines and I said I'd give it a look. What I found was this rather new Cman saw that looks to be in decent shape. The tires have perished and fell off...

I ended up installing a 5/8" motor shaft shim with a 9/16" E or C clip and it is on real nice and snug. Thanks for all the help! Sub

I'm rebuilding an old table saw and it came with a newish TEFC Grizzly (Emerson) 1 1/2HP motor. After running it a little I thought I'd better take the shroud off and see if I could find the source of some rubbing. What I found is that the retainer for the blade was missing and the fan...

Looking for the parts that always break.;) These are from a mid 50's saw but they were used on a lot of 10" saws. Let me know what you have and a price/condition. Sub
