Yesterday I was about to start the resto of my estate sale Wilton vice score. I was going to strip some of the old paint off with the wire wheel on my estate sale scored Alltrade 6” ½ horse bench grinder, it’s first use.
When I turned on the grinder it started to vibrate pretty significantly, and when I lightly put the part to the wire wheel the grinder slowed significantly. I could probably have stopped it with just a small bit more pressure. Then when I shut it off smoke started to come out from one of the openings along the bottom of the motor.
Given the symptoms I would guess the motor is history. My question is would it be worth getting a replacement motor and where could I get one at a good price?
Thank you,
