    My lathe motor would growl for the first few minutes when the shop was 50 or below. I changed the bearings and the problem went away. Run the motor for a few minutes and feel the bearings to see if they are too hot.(motor off obviously). Feel if belts are warm etc.
    A heat gun might be a good way to locate a loose connection that overheats.

    Hi, sounds like a ,slipping belt and/or a dull blade.

    Are you using a rip blade for ripping?

    Regards, Rod
