My Delta Unisaw has been working fine for fifteen years. Now all of
sudden when I push the start button the motors spins very slowly

trips the breaker. I suspect one of the two capacitors. Could it be
anything else? Thanks.



First three rules in troubleshooting anything that runs on electricity:

1. Check the voltage
2. Check the voltage
3. Check the volage

Rare, but making sure your circuit breaker, cord, wall outlet, etc. has
not given up the ghost, _first_, could cut out a lot of tail chasing.


Hey Karl, I think maybe he should check the voltage.
