Okay guys and gals... The occasional act ups are now regular. I need to fix whatever it is going on with my BT3100 motor...
The symptoms?
The motor will get up to full speed, but loaded, or not, the motor will slow down and stop. A reasonable "thump" or two to the table brings it back to life and it runs fine...
I suspect that I either have the motor packed with sawdust, brushes going back, OR bad contacts in the motor...
Now mind you, getting that big extension table off of the rails is no picnic. I have been putting it off for a while for good reason...
So I want to be completely certain before I pull this thing apart, that I know exactly what I am doing with it...
Any suggestions for what and how to inspect, clean, and if needed lubricate the motor? I do have new brushes, springs, and brush caps waiting to be installed, as well as a new switch.
