Hi All-
I've got a 514 bandsaw that I'm having issues with. It had been working fine; went to start it up today and it seemed like it was tripping the breaker (would quickly fire up and die). But the breaker wasn't tripping. I was using an AFCI circuit; replaced that with a standard circuit to no avail. At this point, it powers up but does not spin the blade. Wheels turn freely, drive belt is where it should be. There is definitely an electrical smell when you fire it up. I just unplugged it and stopped screwing with it.
Other tools (tablesaw, jointer) work fine plugged into the same circuit. I pulled off the two covers of the electircal wiring on the saw; nothing looks burned up or anything, but other than that I don't really know what I'm looking at.
I guess my question is A. how do I troubleshoot the motor on this saw, B. am I missing something obvious that could be the issue?
Thanks for any help!
