Got an older Craftsman 12" bandsaw but the motor's got the blues. It will fire up on the bench, but when mounted it just sits and hums. Changed the capacitor, took it apart and blew it out and cleaned the contact. Still no go. I had a t shirt that I taped over the ends to filter out any sawdust that used to bog it down, Worked for years that way. Used to have to clean it out regularly.
It's a 1/2 hp 1725 rpm 115 vac motor. Been looking online, but I'd like to get it fixed if it's less expensive than a new one. Any suggestions.? We have no motor shops in this one horse town. Atlanta and Columbus are my out of town options.
