Not too much and no smell, but it looks like the motor is about to go. What are my options? I hate


to say good-bye to an old friend.

Blow out the accumulated sawdust with compressed air. A motor that can't

breathe is going to get hot. Open it up if necessary, This will be a good time

to oil the bearings too.

I blew out the dust with my air compressor. I haven't oiled the bearings. I don't know how but I'll figure it out and try that.

Thanks!
