Need 5hp motor for delta table saw

[Eric Weinheimer]

Looking for a 5hp motor for a delta 10" 5hp table saw

If that is a unisaw it takes a little work to make a standard motor fit. If you want three phase should be able to find one cheaper.

5 hp obsolete.

[David Kumm]

It might cost about the same as new to have the existing motor rewound. Shipping is a killer for buying used motors unless you get lucky. Dave

The run capacitor went out. The motors fine. Can't find the motor or capacitor

[Frank Pratt]

You can use a generic capacitor. See if you can find what size is needed for that motor & then go to a motor shop & get one. The shop could probably even tell you what size would work for that motor. And they are not expensive.

[Mike Wilkins]

Check the local electric motor shops. I had the capacitor go out on my Delta dust collector and the local shop set me up with a generic capacitor which has been going strong for over 5 years.

The saw shop is headed down that road but the replacement isn't going to look good. They have to mount it in a different location. Still looking out for a motor.

I'm confused. You say the motor's fine, then why are you looking for a new motor?

[Eric Weinheimer]

Because the aftermarket or substitute capacitor doesn't look like it belongs to the motor

$705.00! Holy horse power Batman!! Plus shipping.

Hey, the OP said he wanted a motor, Woodworker's Supply will sell him one. If you wants to play you gots to pay. ;)

How old is the saw? The owwm guys might be able to source capacitors that fit. Hard for me to believe that replacements can't be found. Dave

Here is a 4hp Leeson for $507. http://www.electricmotorwholesale.com/LEESON-120998/ You might check to see if right or left tilt makes a difference. I have also seen people weld up a bracket so that any motor can be bolted up. I recall that Delta has a unusual shaft size. Good ole Delta.

I paid about 2k six years ago with be Izmir's fence and extended table. The tool shop replaced all the upper for 550.00 about 6 months ago. Do I spend the 700.00 +? Probably lol!! It's still cheaper than s new saw.

That really doesn't matter. As long as the capacitor is of the correct rating & you can find some way to mount it to the motor, you good. Maybe fasten it with some perforated strapping. Just make sure the terminations are insulated.
