Dammit! Belt linisher packed in.....motor probs ideas???
Just a quickie, my belt linisher has just packed in which is not handy with the rate I am needing to sharpen tig tungstens!!!
I may just get a new one, but just as a quick check.........
It packed in by suddenly slowing right down as i was using it, and now it won't start, but the motor is obviously doing something, humming and
getting warm if I quickly flick it on.
there is nothign stopping it turning.
If I spin it up by hand then flick it on it runs but very slowly and making a strained sound at the motor.
if I try to start it from stopped it tries to go forwards sometimes and backwards others...........
Just wondered if that was a sign that the motor capacitor was knackered?
I checked it and it is not shorted, doesn't smell funny and wasn't hot, but could it still be that, of is the motor jaffered?
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion

found some on ebay, I assume its a run capacitor as its wired in at the switch, not part of the motor.
I thought capacitors usually failed obviously (burnt or gone bang etc) but if you think it might be then i'll get one, cheaper than a sander at
any rate!
