Hi All,
So I have started up my table saw after not using for a few years. It’s the first time using it since moving to a new place.
im trying to rip a 2x4 but the saw is bogging down.
New blade (tried two different blades).
Fence is parallel to blade.
Removed the belts and the motor and blade spin freely.
Bogs down with or without the kerf.
Bogs down even with a short (1 foot) length of 2x4.
Bogs down even when just cutting a sliver off.
No extension cord, plugged directly to the outlet.
Thinner wood ( 3/4 inch) cuts pretty good.
After many cuts the motor spindle and blade spindle get pretty warm but not too hot to touch.
Belts aren’t slipping.
It’s a King Canada KC-10CCX. Motor is 2 HP, 115/230V, single phase.
The owners manual says it came wired for 220v/30amp. But, the plug still has the regular prongs rather than the two sideways prongs. Also but, I don’t remember using a special outlet for it at my prior home. The saw isn’t new to me but I’ve never changed the wiring or the plug. I’ve got it plugged into a regular outlet now.
I’ve attached the wiring diagram from the owners manual.
Any suggestions?
