Grinder Motor tripping CB

[freebird914]

Today turned on my Dayton 8 inch grinder and it tripped Circuit Breaker ... Reset and here is what I am seeing the motor starts winds up then trips breaker ... Any suggestions on what to check before I declare it dead... This is a older unit and has severed me we I hope it is something simple ... Thanks all

Check for dust, debris, and metal chips in the motor. Causing a short. Also check that the bearings are lubricated and the motor spins well. If not it could cause an over draw situation.

Does it have a capacitor?

Sounds like a cap start motor that the centrifugal switch is not dropping out on.
