Is the motor clean and oiled?

Caveat to Yankee carpetbaggers:

If you do settle in the South and bear children, don't think we will accept
them as Southerners. After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven, we
wouldn't call 'em biscuits.

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.

Thanks,

First of all, you need to eliminate the breaker as a source of your
problem.
Breakers loose a little strength every time that they trip. Hence, over
time, they will trip at a much lower current level.

Testing the motor is not a simple matter. I suggest you take it to a
motor
repair place where they have tools adequate for the testing.
