Toasted Table Saw

Toasted Table Saw

Feb 12

 

Well my trusty table saw I’ve had for at least 10 years decided  not to be so trusty today and locked up solid.

 

So I flipped it over and pulled it apart to see what the problem was.

 

 

 

Well, turns out the bearing on the back of the motor shaft is toast.

 

 

 

It won’t even try to turn and that’s not good.

 

The front motor bearing is fine and still works great. I’m thinking the back bearing was defective.

 

So, ye ol’ table saw is out of commission and I’m trying to decide if I want to fix this one or buy a bigger and better one.

 

Hmmmmmm….. decisions, decisions….
