A less than astute person (I am being kind) overheated my table saw and has ruined the windings. I see where you can get a new BT3000 motor assembly for about $248 plus shipping. Seems too much for such a weak motor. Is there a more robust motor that can be installed into this saw? If not is it better to part out or take the aluminum to a scrap yard?

Many people part out their BT here and recoup some cost towards another saw. Also, if you are not in a big hurry, there is about one every other month here with a good motor for sale at a much more reasonable price.
One thing that has been tried by many - look for a replacement motor outside of the stock motor - but alas, it has not been found.
Sorry to hear about your problems. Keep looking here and someone may post a reply or offer a motor for sale. I think I have seen two or three parted out in the last couple of months , a little above average for that amount of time - on this forum.Hank Lee

as hank said, there are motors from parted out saws going for around $50-70 periodically.

I replaced my motor with a Powermatic contractor's saw for about $100 more than what you are being quoted for a motor.
Yes, that's too high for a motor. If you love your saw, as most of us have (some still do) try to locate one off the classified on this site. There's lots of great knowledge lurking here.
I'm not sure what it wouldtake to properly align a new motor to your saw. It might be a nightmare. Might be a simple bolt-up.
Best of luck.Comment
