Default Craftsman Radial Saw Motor

If the motor has burned out why dont you take it to a motor rewind
specialist shop. It would be cheaper and you get all the same specs as you
started with rather than trying to find a matching motor. My mate runs such
a shop which is only 50 yards away from my workshop and he is very handy
when needing any questions answered regarding elctrics and motors etc.
Unfortunately he is several thousand miles from you as I am in Scotland!

I have a 113.198210, that works. If the motor fits yours, maybe we can work
something out.
I actually have 2 RAS the old style (with no digital readout) and the one
above that the digital readout is not working. I don't need 2 saws.
I am in Raleigh NC

I don't know which one you have in particular, but is it anything like
113.29410 ? Thats the one that I have and on the Sears parts site they
are still showing it. It made me think about mine because mine is about
the same vintage.

Hope it might help.

Help!

I have a 20+ year old Craftsman Radial Arm Saw (model 113.199450), on
which the motor just burned out. Sears (noth the website and the phone
help people) says they can no longer get that motor because it's not
made anymore. The motor part # was 63608. Neither can I get parts for
it. At this point, the answer I get from Sears is to just pop on over
to my local Sears store & buy a new saw. However, that's about $600
more than I was hoping to spend.

Are there any other sources in the world for replacement motors? I've
googled the model & part numbers ti no avail. I was hoping someone
here knew of another electric motor source.

I've surfed previous messges in this group, and a recurring theme
mentions a centrifugal switch that's supposed to cut out the starting
circuit. But neither the Sears psrts listing nor the motor itself
reveals anything that looks like a switch. Am I somehow missing it?
