Thanks for all the replies/advice. Swingman's story is the same as mine and
saved the day. I took your advice of blowing out the switch/receptacle box
and tightening all the electrical connections in the box. I re-assembled
everthing, plugged the cord back in, hit the 'reset' button and it fired
right up!

You all saved the day...not that I'd mind having a 3hp Baldor but the
original has been pretty faithful through some trying times. Even better,
I'm back to work.

Thanks again.

Hello all. I have a 10 year old Unisaw with a 1 1/2 horse Delta motor that
I
run on 220v. I was resawing a 16/4 beam (cut part way through then flip
over
and cut the rest of the way through) when the blade pinched and the motor
stopped running. I had already cut several boards off in this manner so I
thought the motor had overheated. I've let the motor set for an hour to
cool
and have pressed the thermal reset but I can't get it to restart. I've
checked for a reset on the motor but don't find one. I've also plugged it
into another 220 outlet that I know to work but nothing there either.

I doesn't smell like anything is burnt. Is there some way to check and
rule
out things like a switch, plug, etc. to make sure it isn't the motor?
Thanks
for any advice.
