My trusty old delta q3 finally gave up ,the motor burnt out so I am out of action until I can find another saw I'm looking for another delta if anyone can help I'm in the uk so if anyone in the uk has one for sale or knows where I can get one I will be very grateful. Thanks. Bob

I tried to get a new motor but there's none over here they have got them in the USA but they are 120 volt we use 240

Hey Bob, Could you not get new Brushes for the motor?, That's if the brushes are the problem,

Hope you can sort it out, Bob

Can you not get the motor rewind it may be cheaper than a second hand saw.....Paul

Scroll saws use probably a minimum of an amp and a half 1.5 amps. The 220 volt converters that people take over seas should run one nicely.You know the ones that you use for shavers  etc.And i think if you get the ones that step down the voltage the amps increases slightly.Does the motor smell burnt.Is it a variable speed scroll saw with electronic circuit boards , is this the one that's belt driven?for speed control?Low amp motors should last and last.

I just looked on e-bay and a brand new motor is $49.00 new and with 2 year warranty is a couple bucks more for the q3

Thanks for the replays my saw is the delta 40-650 variable speed I have had the motor to pieces and it's definitely the motor burnt out I need a 240volt motor the ones you have are 120 volt I don't know about a converter Kevin I will have to look in to that, failing that I will try to fit a different motor in to it it's too good a saw to scrap thanks bob

I've wound motors before,You just have to keep track of which way the windings go around the armature.The ones i did were on slott car with very fine hair wire,yours should be easyer.

Managed to find a delta 40-540 variable speed it will get me out of trouble until I can get my q3 repaired can't wait to get back in the shed
