So this morning I was (New Year) cutting some pumpkin seed obsidian on my Raytech 10" slab saw and had the piece come loose and bind the saw blade.
I had already cut a couple pieces and thought I had the rock on pretty tight. When I went to check on it I smelled that dreaded electrical smoke
coming from my rock shed - 1/3hp Dayton 1750rpm. The blade is fine. Getting my bad luck out of the way early this year. RickB

Motor won't start back up. It's cooled down and I just pulled it off. I think it is well done Randy. |

I had some bad luck as well. This morning I went out to mine a bunch of newly discovered batcave material. Showed up, uncovered the spot as I hid it very well, and found someone was in there digging. Best part is, I know exactly who it was. Part of why I’m so damn stingy with my spots.

Those older Dayton motors are pretty easy to rebuild. It may only need a new set of brushes.

I've had that happen... but only if I leave the room though with the saw running. So, I never leave the room with the saw running anymore and magically they never bind.
