I can't wait either but it looks like it will take some time. The motor turns on but does not always engage the blade. If I take the belt off the motor runs smooth and no problem until I attach the blade. Then it is a bit noisy and engages the blade only occasionally. I had the condenser checked out and the motor is now in the shop to determine the problem. Without the belt on the blade spins freely and the same for the motor. (
).
In the mean time I will resurrect an older miter saw and see about making a table on wheels for it since there isn't much room in the garage and I need everything to be mobile.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Cheers!
