  1. I can live with that. But I feel like these...

    I can live with that. But I feel like these motors should be more reliable and robust than they are. I managed to find a shop in Hartford, CT. They have been in business since 1934. And the head...

    I am afraid you are correct. Are these motors repairable by a motor shop? If not, do you know where to purchase a replacement?

    Well both capacitors are new. The resistor is new. Still no start. The breaker trips as soon as you push the start button. The breaker trips even though the drive belt has been removed. The...

    Well Grainger has the resistor, and they promised 1 day delivery. So tomorrow I find out if the new resistor allows that fine eye-talian motor to spool up. Fingers crossed. Tonight I might dream...

    Well the new capacitors did not do the trick. I am going to have to track down the resistor that is the jumper on the original capacitor. If anyone has a 2005 vintage MM16 with the 4.8 hp motor...

    I tried the Allied Electronics webs site but I was not able to locate capacitors with the right specifications. So I called Grainger and used the live chat function. The guy who helped me was able...

    Just got off the phone with tech support. And that is where they are steering me. When I opened the box that contains the capacitors, I noticed that the large 160 mf capacitor had a jumper across...

    Well it looks like it is my turn to wrestle with the electrical problems on the MM 16. Great saw, but fragile in the electrical department.

    My saw shut off during a cut. The motor tries to...

    Most of the responses seem to come from people cutting plywood. But I do not see a lot of solid wood furniture makers weighing in. What kind of wood are you cutting and what are you making with it?

    The Aprilaire has a five year warranty and they state the product was designed for a 15 year service life. I would much rather buy a well made product that lasts than some disposable item that needs...

    Well my "major name brand" dehumidifier that was made in China lasted one season. The manufacturer wanted to buy it back from me. They seem to be regretting their decision to use a contract...

    When I found the MM16 that I ended up purchasing, I moved it myself. I rented an enclosed Uhaul trailer, used some ratcheting straps, and some moving blankets. The owner and his brother helped me...

    a big pair of chanel locks pliers works great too. If you bend the filter while doing this don't worry, it is a disposable item. Just be sure to have your new filter on hand.
