Howdy, fellas.
I'm a displaced furniture maker who is now back in school.
I have a 10" Craftsman radial saw, and recently the small
plastic cooling fan (on the end of the armature) crumbled.
I have a salvaged motor, which provided a replacement,
meaning I had to take the centrifugal switch, with fan
bonded to it, and put it on the motor.
Now the motor will not switch from low run speed to
high run speed current. I have made numerous attempts
to fix it by making tiny adjustments, but I can't get it right.
It runs without any detectable (to me) trouble,
but continues to overheat, tripping the built in circuit breaker.
I'm fearful of doing this too many times, and frying some
part that I can't replace, since no one deals these any more.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
