I've got a buddy with a JET JWBS-18X saw and the motor gets hotter
than hell. Does anyone have any suggestions?

He's thinking about replacing the 1 1/2 hp with a 3 hp but Jet wants
from 475 for the 1 1/2 hp to 575 for the 3 hp. thats pretty steep for
whar seems to be a marginal motor. Does anyone have any suggestions
for replacements?

I have found several motors for him but need to know what the frame is
on those motors. They are a strange mounting config (face but doesn't
seem to be a NEMA) and the shaft size is 3/4" which is a bit odd for a
motor that size.

We need some help! He's 74 and doesn't use a PC and we live in the
boonies. Nearest place to shop for motors is Boise and thats 180 miles
so we're reaching out. He makes stakes for local builders and needs
his machine fixed. It would be a real stretch for hime to shell out
what Jet wants for their "solid GOLD" motors

Thanks
