Default Dying Motor on Sears Table Saw?

I've had this table saw for at least 20 years. Lately, it's
been tripping the breaker with greater frequency. I'm
wondering if the motor is wearing out, or if I should
check something else.


Very likely the bearings are going and the motor is having to work harder
trying to get up to speed. They can be replaced. Also possible that he
bandsaw wheel bearings are causing the problem. Remove the blade and the
wheels should spin freely.
