Hey guys-
I have a 10" Craftsman Table saw- owned it for years, she's done good for me. I was just cutting some 1" blue foam, and in the middle of the cut, it made a LOUD grinding noise, the blade slowed WAY down and started vibrating. I immediately shut it down. I don't see any obstructions around the blade at all.
Now- when I turn it on, it vibrates heavily, makes a loud bussing/grinding noise, and the blade spins very slow- to where it wouldn't cut the foam even if I tried. After about 5 seconds, it blows the surge protector it's plugged into.
I've never had any problems with this- certainly not with blue foam. It's fairly old- not sure if I fried it and need to just replace it? Or is there an easy fix?
I know it's hard without seeing it- but any ideas are VERY appreciated!
Thanks!
