Looking for a motor source
I've posted a couple times recently about the death of my jointer motor.
The jointer is a nice Jet 6 inch built in the 70s. I think I paid about $150 for it and use it about a half dozen times a year. Watching CL for a comparable replacement, but also looking for a source for 3/4 hp replacement motor. Jet was $236 for theirs plus shipping. So ... any recommended sources for a rebuilt motor? TIA Larry |

Just hums on startup. Had it checked by qualified motor shop. Windings
burned out. Dead. __ Bøb __ wrote: On 2/5/2011 10:39 AM, wrote: I've posted a couple times recently about the death of my jointer motor.

Bob, please turn off the HTML posting in your newsreader. I finally found where to turn "OFF" HTML in Thunderbird, and did so ... just out of curiosity, what is the difference ??? Obviously, it must be something annoying to others ... what does it do??? For some reason Thunderbird sets it to "ON" by default, and I just rebuilt this computer, reinstalling everything, so it got set that way upon installation. __ Bøb __ |

Sure sounds like you would qualify for a replacement ... check out Tractor Supply and Northern Tool for replacements. You won't find a great deal there on a Baldor, but you might find a Marathon or other slightly lesser quality motor for a fair price. __ Bøb __ |

Generally it ****es people off, in this case just a lot of extra stuff came down, specifying fonts, colours etc. In the old days when most had dial up that was the issue, the extra bytes, it may also lead to possible malicious code being downloaded, if people have a vulnerable reader. -- Froz...

Someone mentioned Yellow Pages and, on your previous post, someone
mentioned taking it to a shop to be evaluated. My local electircal supply company, which has a department for repairing motors, will, for free, evaluate any motor and give quotes for repair or replacement. Shop around for such a company/shop. Assuming you've done the troubleshooting, as recommended on the previous thread, check Marathon or Baldor motors, on Amazon, for comparable replacement motors. I bought a new Unisaw motor at a much cheaper price, via Amazon, than what Delta, my local shop & Gainger (also local) wanted. I think, if you email the specs of your motor to Baldor, they will match the correct replacement motor. Sonny |

Hello Larry,
New industrial / Farm duty (continues duty) motors can be found at farm supply stores. My local one is called Track Supply (used to be Farm Fleet?). Also, check with your local motor repair places. I had a 2 HP Leeson that was flaky. They only charged a $20.00 bench fee to see if they could fix it. $236 is probably a good price for an OEM motor. $150.00 for a used Jet sounds like a very good deal to me. It may qualify for a you suck. Also, check OWWM.org for Bring Out Your Dead, BOYD forum. Ask if any one in your area is selling a motor.

It messes with the way our newsreaders are set up, or alternatively, we see nothing but a bunch of HTML tags. Neither is good if your intent is to communicate. |

A motor that hums on startup is a classic sign of a bad start capacitor. See if it runs when you give it a spin. A new capacitor is about $10. -- Jack Novak Buffalo, NY - USA |
