My little Craftsman bandsaw is having problems.
Sometimes the motor runs okay, but sometimes I flip the switch and get a humming sound but no movement. If I (carefully!) tug on the blade a bit, sometimes it will start running. The blade also bogs down sometimes in the middle of what should be easy cuts, like ripping 2X pine, even though the blade is plenty sharp.
So I suppose something in the motor is wearing out. What am I looking at here? What will it take to fix it?
