Oops...:o
I,m working hard cutting some chassis kits , & once i get into the flow I can really crack on ,
but sadly too fast for the motor on my bandsaw :D

I think I,ve just fried it :eek: :o

Ho Hum. Off back to the garage to strip it down & see if I can tease it back to work .....I,ll talk nicely to it LOL

cheers

Crikey Andy, you must be working that bandsaw hard :eek:

Take a leaf out of my book, put a piece in the saw to cut, go indoors to find a cuppa.
When I hear the Ker-Chink on the workshop floor I think to myself " Must put another bit to cut Dreckly " :o :D

Seriously though, them motors to tend to run very hot during constant use ( Doubt the motors have a cont rating on them )

With a little luck you may have just burnt out the run capacitor, these can be bought for not a lot ;)

I,m cutting 3 kits at the moment ( well..I WAS :o ) & as I set the saw going on a cut I am busy preparing the next bit of steel for cutting, looks like I was going too quick:D ( see I DO work hard lol).

I,ve just taken it apart & can,t see anything obvious thats wrong apart from maybe some scorch marks on the rotor, but then again me & electrics are not best buddies :D

Erm , I,m a bit stuck now if it doesn,t work when I put it back together .....tho a trip over to Saturn sounds like a plan to pinch theirs :D

cheers
