If you have no other use for the motor you can see how long it lasts.


Neither was the motor on my high end Delta contractors saw! Good old open
motor, just let the dust blow right on through!
If it turns the right direction, use it.

My Delta Contractor saw also has the original ODP motor. The saw was
several years old when I bought it, about 8 years ago.

As did almost all the Delta/Rockwell contractor saws. However, keep
in mind that those motors were purchased with an engineered and tested
dustproof centrifigal switch (the switch that shifts from start to run
circuits and back). Without it, an ODP will constantly be a problem
in a woodworking application. And not all ODP motors have them.
