electric motor

[Salty]

The motor on my dad's table saw bit the dust today. He was talkin' about getting it repaired. I told him to chunk it and I'd buy him a new saw. Like me, he's stubborn. Any clues as to where I can buy a motor for a table saw? It's a direct drive...no belt.

Get the model number and frame number off of the motor and post it on here, or do a search on Graingers website.
It is probably a Dayton motor. They are pretty common on saws.

5000 rpms is fast for an electric motor.

I need a frame number from the motor to find a new one.
The frame number tells the shaft size and mounting bracket size.

Are you sure the motor has failed? I have this same motor on my table saw and it is currently out of commission. Mine is out due to the rear bearing seized up. These RM871 motors are notorious for the rear bushing/bearing to fail. If you have not checked the rear bearing yet it may be as simple as changing it. $20 or less and your dad could be back in business.
