    BT3100 Electric Motor

    Hello everyone, I need a Motor for my BT3100. My saw is over three years old now and the motor has developed a very noticeable burning smell. I would like a replacement on hand before it finally burns out. So if anyone has an extra one that they are willing to part with, Please email me at.

    I don't have allot of cash to spend on this , I'm on a fixed income and only paid $200 for the saw.
    Thanks
    Lance

      Hi Lance - Check Craigslist.org or Ebay for occasional listings of used BT3x or motor.
      Happiness is sort of like wetting your pants....everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

          have you clean the motor and checked the brushes?

              I agree and also make sure you don't have a build up of sawdust anyplace in and around the motor.

                  Hey Guys, Yes I have cleaned the motor and checked the brushes.Question is how long were the brushes when new? Also I have been watching Craig's List and Ebay today. This all started today when I was re sawing some Hemlock for my Kitchen table project.

                      It maybe worth a try to replace the brushes and clean the commutator with a pencil eraser. I tried this with my old BT3000 motor and got a few more miles out of it before replacing it with a BT3100 motor.
