Saws - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
Help! My husband has a Ryobi radial arm saw and
What is a timing belt in this case? I have two radial arm saws (a Sears and a Monkey Ward) and neither one had what I would call a time belt. My saws were direct drive (through they were gear reduction direct drive).
Is this a tooth belt of some type? If so, I doubt that it is anything really special like custom made for a run of saws. Someone must make such a thing.
Again, I dont know what we are looking at ... having said that ... were I looking for a special belt, Id first visit a good auto parts store ... not a big box nor fast food type but a genuine old fashioned auto parts place. The one with some greas on the counter. Ask the counterman or woman if they can help. Take your sample with you.
Next, I think I'd visit Gates Power (they make all kinds of belts) I could get you a link ... but hey ... you found this place didnt you? you can find gates belts!
As a last ditch effort, you could put a want add up at e-bay.
I hope some of these ideas help you find the part you need.
Please tell me more acout this belt for for my general knowledge. Thanks
Mastercraft miter saw 55-6884-0 manual
If you take it to an electrician, the issue may well be the suppressor capacitor, across the switch contact, will be short circuit.
Get it replaced with a suitable Class Y components and it will be working again. OR
thee switch is faulty. Replaceable by a commonly available spare part.
Being 15 years old, there is little hope of a spare parts manual but it is a very basic design and should be easily repaired by a competent engineer.
Trying to cut any size piece of wood the saw blows
Are you operating the saw on a 10 amp circuit or with a long extension cord? Table saws need at least a 15 amp circuit and should not be used with an extension cord. If absolutely necessary the extension cord should be no less than 12 guage. Tabel saws will run OK on a 10 amp circuit but as soon as you apply a load (try to cut wood) the power requirements go up to keep the saw turning. If you can, plug it into another outlet on a higher capacity circuit breaker or at least closer to the breaker box. If it still pops the breaker you may have bearing problems in the motor that are creating too much friction. This would make the motor work harder to turn so it would draw excessive power and trip the breaker.
