Default Unisaw stopped running

Thanks for the reply, Swingman. When you say, "blow everything out" are

you
talking about inside the switch box?


Sorry I can't offer more concrete help. Chances are good it is an electrical
connection problem somewhere. You need to do a thorough check all wiring,
electircal connections, inside the switch box itself, anything you can get
to, etc.

Just like you, I thought I had fried the Unisaw one afternoon and couldn't
start it for the rest of the afternoon. Later that evening, and In
preparation for pulling the motor the next morning, I blew out the switch,
the motor, and everything I could reach with my air compressor and it fired
right up.

I was under the impression that the cause in my case was a stuck reset
switch, probably dust related.

I may be mistaken, but I have a dim recollection of the thermal reset on
some of the Unisaws to be actually inside the switch box itself ... might
want to check there also. Also, it is not unheard of for a switch to go bad
under similar circumstances.

Good luck ... may your fix be as sudden and easy as mine.
