Hey all, I've come to the collective to see what info I can glean from all you smart folks...
I have a Delta 28-276 14" bandsaw, MOTOR-3/4HP-1PH-115V according to the manual... with a grizzly riser installed..
I've watched all the videos and read as much as I could find about tuning the saw and pretty sure it was tuned up okay... but here lately when I run the saw, i get a clatter sound in the motor area... I took the blade off this afternoon and ran just the motor and there was the clatter... thinking I have something loose in the motor housing or a bearing has gone bad....
I was pretty sure I had a motor problem and started looking at parts... Delta parts as well as eReplacement... according to both, this motor is obsolete, discontinued and they don't offer a replacement... I've emailed eReplacement and asked if they had a cross reference, and according to their customer service, none .... also emailed Delta, but no response as yet...
Already thinking may have to bite the bullet and buy another motor... or may be able to take it locally to a shop that can rebuild this one.. any other suggestions from the collective??
