Was creating a ZCTP for a molding head cutter (think router bit for table saw - this was a tool my grandfather had purchased for his craftsman saw about 30 years ago) and suddenly heard saw struggle and then just as suddenly motor sounded normal again. After stopping the saw and checking everything I found that the arbor was no longer turning while the motor was running. Further inspection indicated that the 2 v-belts linking the motor to the arbor had both melted through.
It looks like ryobitools.com has the belts for $20 or so each. Does anyone have any specifics about how to replace the belts myself? Are there other parts of the saw that I should be worried about being broken? Is this something I can fix myself, or should I take the saw to an authorized repair location?
Thanks,
