Just something to consider if you are going with a used bench top
again.
These saws are not built to last as long as contractor or cabinet
saws
are.
Yours has become unusable, how long will it be before a used one
becomes unusable.

I would agree with Leon's point. If you have space, and
if you don't require portability, I think you would be
much wiser to pursue a contractors saw than a bench-top
saw.

Well that or go for a "new" portable bench top.

Ah, I wouldn't agree with that point :-)

I'm not a big fan of benchtop saws. I think a full size
saw gives you more power, more precision, more durability,
is more stable, and overall safer. So I wouldn't recommend
a benchtop unless someone was very constrained on space,
or actually needed to tote the saw places other than a shop.

Well I'm not a fan either, I use a 700lb cabinet saw. But if you seldom
use a TS a bench top makes more sense. It all depends on how much you
use it and what you are cutting with it. Furniture, probably not. Bird
houses, not a big deal.

Offer?

Pulled the bearing, picked up another locally, just finished installing
it and assembling the saw. Along with a good cleaning and lube, it's
like new again.

Thanks again.

To pull it or provide the loan of the shop to do so...as you seemed
uncertain it wasn't _a_big_deal_ in your initial posting.

Glad it went well; did the shaft show any sign of the heat having blued
it, too...?

Appreciate the offer.

The shaft look very good. After pulling the bearing off, it was nice and
shiny. THe winding part which make contact with the brushes was the only
discolored area, to be expected.

I would imagine that a 10 foot table saw would not be an elcheapo.

I'd love to hear that thing come up to speed. ;-)
