..Kev Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Anyone looking for parts? Mine has finally bit the dust and will be moving on to the scrap yard. If you're somewhat local, I'll sell the fence off of it and toss in anything else that you'd like off of it. Biesemeyer fence that was around 400 new.

Chestnut Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 What went wrong? Motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pulled it apart and just hardwired everything to make sure that was the only issue before ordering the part only to find that it still won't run. It acts like it wants to but, doesn't .. I assume at this point that the motor went shortly after the block did.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 What are yo planning to upgrade to? Saw stop, PM? If you go back with Griz, take a look at the 1023, I like mine. I got the 3 hp, but they have the same one in 5 hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Man that sucks. I wonder if the motor didn't short and then melt the power block. Seeing that i'm glad to hear there wasn't a fire or anything. That's kinda scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do tend to leave my equipment plugged in all the time. For all I know, there was a power surge of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I sold the fence off of it.. I still have an unused 0 clearance insert available is someone wants it.. And, anything else anyone can think of.. You pay shipping only, you can have the parts.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, that's an easy answer really.. I just wanted to wait a few month to catch up after the shop build.. It also means that I can't in good faith sell the old saw per the plan. I won't take money for something that I know is broken and I had a buyer for the old saw. I've sent them a note letting them know that they're better off buying a different saw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Have you looked at the PM200 for sale in our for sale thread? It's a good looking saw and it's a ride for you. But check it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my saw would have held up a couple more months, I'd of bought that saw. It's a great deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RichardA Posted January 28, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Yeah it is. 11 hours, that's a shame, but it is one helluva a nice ride if you have the time . 3 Mountain passes, ain't nothing if you know how to handle them. Winter on those could be a PITA though. Has been for a lot of folks. especially heavy trucks. Having spent most of my adulthood driving coast to coast, 11 hours ain't that much to me. And in some ways I kinda miss it, and no, I won't come get it for you. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedinblue Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Man this sucks. I hope it doesn't reflect a weakness in the machines...I leave mine plugged in all the time too. I could use the zero clearance insert if you still have it...I'll pay whatever you'd like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 16 hours ago, ..Kev said: For all I know, there was a power surge of some kind. Extremely unlikely. It would take a very high voltage spike (think lightning strike) to cause burning like that. And there would be evidence of line to line, or line to ground arc tracking. There is no chance that this happened when the machine was not running but plugged in. If it was not turned on, there is no voltage at the motor. That looks like overheating caused by a high resistance connection. Likely the screw came a little loose & things got hot. It may have been compounded by a bad winding drawing more current than it should. In any case, replacing the motor will be the fix. If the saw is otherwise good, then the cost of a motor will get you something that will sell more easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gee-dub Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 You may want to hold on to that Bies for a while. The Saw Stop fence is nice but, I still visit my Bies on my old saw at Dad's. Dated but, so smooth, so reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodbutcher Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 So Kev - I remember from your recent videos that you are planning to upgrade your jointer and planer. Does this impromptu table saw upgrade throw a wrench into that plan, or were you going to upgrade the table saw anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
