For those who wanted to see the motor plate, there you go. FYI, and in the spirit of full disclosure, that pic was also sent to TEC when asking them about a suitable replacement

the face plate is set onto the frame, so a foot mount wont work unless the mounting plate is considerably larger and an L shape - which gets you into the land of trying to get something fabricated that would meet the needs. If the shaft is different it means sourcing and mounting suitable...

TEC - they may do good motors but dont do customer service - took three weeks to reply to email, then responded with a quote for the wrong type of motor, and wrong shaft size, (I had spec;d that when i contacted them). We went round in cirlces for another two weeks, until they quoted me £300 for...

Hi, so back in 2019 I bought a second hand Jet 16" bandsaw, which after some tweaking performed ok for about 6 months - then the electrics cut out, which turned out to be a burned out motor. So after asking around, found a locla supplier who 'rewound' the motor, (£185), which got me up and...

Re Charlesworth courses versus videos - I've been lucky enough to take a few of David's courses and while the videos are great, actually being there and doing the course is far superior, IMHO, as its all the 'other' information you pick up during the course that jumps your quality of work forwards.

we've had the problem, and after fixing the problem wrapped the pipes in a fine copper mesh sleeve, bought from the evil empire, (Amazon), which seems to be suitably detering the little buggers...

or you could just buy the ready mixed lime mortar to the colour you want from the likes of Masons Mortar....just add water and away you go,,,

Sure - the motor rewind plus new swtich etc came in under £200, so including transport costs etc it worked out less than a 1/3rd of the cost of a replacement motor, and i'd definately recommend anyone in the same position taking the same route.

UPDATe - August 29th - I have a working bandsaw ! So I took the advice and went looking for a company who could rewind the obviously dead motor, and found a terrific bunch of guys in Edinburgh called Claremont Electric Services, who do electric motor rewinds. They sorted out the motor and then...

hi Woodfarmer...well, as someone who has taken apart the odd explosive device, my approach is actually pretty safe, given that at no point am i in contact with the electrics when testing them, plus, the first thing i did was discharge the capacitor, which potentially can give you enough of a...

no problem, someone else gave me a link and have dropped them an email,,,

Scotland, just outside Glasgow,,,

Good points on the burn out itself - I'm trying to get a response from a local motor specialist, but as we are into holiday season at the moment, getting responses is hit and miss ! As to the company themselves - the response from Jet / Tool France, was to put it mildly - underwhelming. Neither...

Attached is the plate from the motor - so its pretty identical to the one listed, from power perspective. Does it have a brake - yes I think it does, but thats not why they quoted it at £800. the direct replacement in the USA, on ereplacements is $451, however, ToolFrance say because the...

So, have emailed the folks based in glasgow above, and also Remco, they both have; - details of exisitng motor, (picture of the plate on the motor) - details of shaft, diameter, keyway etc, (again pictures with ruler shown to illustrated centres etc - details of mounting plate that is...

Hi Roy,,thanks for the link, I'll definately give them a call. You aright, the motor mounts to a plate which pivots to tension the belt.

so last night I got the motor stripped down - and yep, its toast, clearly a burn out in the wiring in the motor, so new motor it is. ToolFrance came back - JWBS16 motor is no longer available, had to tell them the JWBS18 fits - and they quoted me, (you may need to sit down for this) - £800...

30th June Update... Its not the cpacitor - its showing 18.6 microfarad and its rated at 20, so thats fine, so the chances are its the motor itself - so have started stripping it down! Interestingly - contacted Jet, who referred me to the distributor in the UK - ToolFrance. Have to say the...

so,,,at the weekend I took the monster apart. carefully removing the electrics, all still connected and putting them the bemch so i could start the process of tracking down, just where this fault is. started at the power in, and plug to commando on the back - all fine, then thought, hold on...
