bobscroll Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampa Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Can you not get the motor rewind it may be cheaper than a second hand saw.....Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 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.

amazingkevin Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobman58 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 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. bobman58 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
