I'm in the process of getting a Rockwell 28-200 bandsaw back up and running. The motor runs but has a mean squeal. I've disconnected the belt and the squeak is still there, so 100% sure it's the motor and not guide bearings, belt/pulley issue, etc. The motor is a Delta 1312023 3/4HP, for which I can find very little information, but I'm fairly sure it's original to the saw (1976).
I have no experience with electric motor repair, but from what I've read it seems likely that this is a bearing issue. Does anyone know if there is a quick way I can try to lubricate the bearings? I understand that this wouldn't be a long term solution, but I'd like to at least know if that is truly the issue or if there is something else wrong with the motor requiring replacement.
