I've had this table saw for at least 20 years. Lately, it's

wondering if the motor is wearing out, or if I should
check something else.

Thanks,

Eliminate the source first?

Try something with more or less the same output on the socket,give it a
couple of days before assuming its the saw.

Well, I have many other things running off that outlet.
Occasionally, my 2 hp air compressor will trip it, but
nothing else.

I would 1st try a new breaker, that is,
if the saw, once it does get going,
works ok. Or, flip flop the breaker
with another one of the same size
in the breaker box.
