Sorry for my post, Puckdropper. In my mind, I was thinking Miter
saw, not RAS.

Even though you were thinking about the wrong tool, there were useful
suggestions in your post. Checking the cord is a good suggestion, and worn
bearings could indicate the tool is more of a project than a ready-to-use
tool.
