About ten years ago I thought my table saw motor had died. I looked at
the price of new motors and priced what it would cost to repair.

Before going all of the way and buying new, I took it to a small motor
repair shop for their evaluation. Fifteen bucks later after the
repairman showed me how to remove the small wood chips that were
preventing the contacts in the motor to close, I was on my way home.

Now periodically (every couple of years)I disassemble the motor cleaning
out sawdust and wood chips from the inner recesses of the motor as part
of the preventive maintenance of the saw.
