Last weekend I saw an ad for a BT3000 for $50 in Craigslist. The ad said that the saw was tired.
I'd like to build a Frankensaw for my shop. So off I went on Saturday to take a look at it. When I turned it on the motor turned slowly and made a lot of noise. I told him that it was worth $30, to me, for parts. He agreed and I started taking it apart.
The guy then said I mght as well take the rest of the stuff. Turns out there was (new in the box) an extended table kit, an extended table leg kit and a router fence adapter kit!
So I guess I got a good deal.
When I got the saw back to the shop I took the belts off and the motor shaft turns but is very stiff. I suspect the bearing.
Anybody out there have an idea as to whether or not it might be worthwhile to try and replace the motor bearing?
