Sep 16, 2010 You most likely have a bad capacitor by: Anonymous I have this saw. I rebuilt the motor and have a fairly good grasp of what is inside. I dissagree with the previous comments...This is an induction motor with large guage coils. That part of the motor either works or it does not. There is no in-between. I think the problem is a bad capacitor, which is not an expensive fix. Good luck!

Aug 12, 2010 Get a new saw by: Steve Fearson Your problem is that the saw is very old and the windings are probably burned. Your best bet is to part with a few bucks and buy a new saw. But you could get the motor replaced cheaper. Find an electric motor guy in the yellow pages, take your current motor in and have him rig you up something that will fit.

Jul 10, 2010 Hums, slow start, weak, stalls by: Phil I bought a very old Craftsman Radial arm saw on Craigs list. It started very slow and was prone to stalling. To my amazement, inside the motor casing, if found that it was wired for 220 though it had a 110 volt plug. I switched it back to 120 volt (according to: http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_manuals/23092/CRAFTSMAN-Saw-Radial-L0707151?brand_name_search=113.23100 ) and it works like a top!

Jul 01, 2010 Looking for owners manual by: mudrats@sbcglobal.net My father just handed me down this old saw, and it work great, but I can't figure out how to get the blade to change angles. I can get the "fence" to move to cut at different angles, but how do I get the actual "blade unit" to cut at various angles. Also looking for a copy of the owners manual for this fine piece of machinery. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Mar 28, 2010 Humming motor by: Anonymous Humming Motor- I had the same thing. i took the motor in, had it rebuilt (a little costly)_got it back and used it again for several mor years. Then, same thing, this time, I put a used motor on the machine, from a $50 saw I bought out of the paper. No more problems, I run it on 220 Volts, so it has lots of Umph.
