Thanks for the info Dave. Bob, which capacitor is the starting one, or can I check both while running? Is it quite possible that the tiny overload dial in the NVR swithch IS set too sensitive? I've had the saw for about four months now but only recently started to use it for longer periods. jon.

You must be a mind reader Bob, I was just going to say there are two capacitors!!! jon.

So Bob, if I start the saw and check the voltage across the capacitor, there should be nothing. If there's a reading, the starter winding is stuck as you say. jon.

I think i'm getting what you are saying now, the series of events are as follows, motor turned on, starter winding not being cut out, motor overheating due to extra current for starting, overload trip cutting in when gets hot. yes? jon.

Bob, I think the problem lies somewhere in the motor getting too hot and the overload is comming into play as it should. Would the problem you are suggesting cause the motor to overheat? jon.

Bob, I'm afraid my computer skills aren't up to much so scanning things and sending them is a bit beyond me, but I do have a wiring dia. from the manual and by the look of it, it on ly shows two wires and earth that go to the motor. jon.

Thanks for the advice Bob, is there any way of knowing if this is the cause before splitting the motor? jon.

I've just been thinking Bob, the overload trip might be in the on off swicth because I have to turn the isolator off and back on to enable me to start the saw again. cheers, jon.

Bob, I should also make it clear that the saw is an American import, but it should quite happily run with 220-240v as it states in the manual. I will say though, the motor cover door does close very close to the motor fan cover, and do you think this could impair the cooling of the motor? It is...

Hello bob, I know a little about motors and can quite confidently strip one down to replace the bearings for example. The motor is switching off after it's been on about 5 mins. The motor is getting quite warm. Not too hot to touch but seems hotter than any other machine motor. It is single...

Hello, I have a Delta tablesaw with a three horse motor and recently, the overload protection is cutting off the motor. The manual say's it could be down to too much strain on the blade or a low voltage supply. I don't see any of these as being the reason. Does anyone have any ideas? cheers...

Arnold lavers can supply formica, only in 10x4 sheets though. jon.

Thanks for your info Alan. The extractor has the standard 13 amp plug fitted but the motor is a 2 horse power and I was a little worried of it possibly tripping the breaker on start up. jon.

So is it OK to turn on a motor directly from the plug socket? The extractor I have is an Axminster ADE 2200, which means i'd have to bypass the on/off switch. It has to be noted though that the no-volt switch has a dial inside it to set the motor's rated amperage with and i'm not sure if I...

Hi, I was thinking of getting some of these, also for running my extractor but with the no-volt release switch, how can the extractor be turned on remotely when you still have to go and press the on switch for the extractor itself? cheers, jon.

I'm also with the Tommy Walsh hate club. Can't stand the bloke. Whenever a co-worker gives him any critisism, he likes to get on his high horse and you can tell that he's dying to say "i'm not playing anymore, it's my program" cheers, jon.

I'd also have to agree, looks really like Walnut. jon.

Very nice contractor saw, can't believe you got rid of the unisaw though. Since getting mine, i've vowed not to go near anything else. And by the way, anyone wanting one of those lovely full size mobile bases like on Pauls Delta, I've got one waiting for the first £40. cheers, jon

I have heard of this before. It's quite common I believe. jon.

jeff, 25mm sheets are really heavy and the sliding table just wouldn't cope with it. I cut a lot of 25mm 10x4 sheets at work on an SCM industrial saw with a 3 metre crosscut bed and you can still see the table flexing with the sheer weight of the board. jon.
