I have a machine with an electric motor in it. We asked a bit too much of
it and during a job it laboured and ground to a halt.
Now when we start it up it spins slowly and grinds to a halt after a few
seconds.
It can be turned manually with ease.
Has something likely burned out within?
Is a repair likely? If so am I looking at a rewinding company?
Any input appreciated.

It would sound like the windings or bushings are burnt out - I would
think a re-windng company could tell you if it's the windings.
I'll give these guys a try.

Anyone any idea of potential cost?
Probably should add, it's about 5 amp, 0.6hp.
Between £150 to £250 would be my guess. Much cheaper to find a second
hand replacement if it is a common size/spec..
