Delta 10

" "
I have a 10-yr. old saw that's seen occasional use in my basement shop. Yesterday the blade started whining and seizing while ripping a length of 1" cherry. By going REALLY slowly, I got through the piece.
Tried again today, and the blade now stops at the slightest pressure from the workpiece. Just stops cold.
Thoughts? 
Thanks.

- That's a 10" saw, Model 36-600.

- Thanks for responding.
No, the motor keeps humming. It's not like when it overheats and trips off. It's on, but the blade won't budge until I pull the workpiece away from it again.

- All taken care of...someone came by, realized it was just the belt, and replaced it for me.
Thanks anyway!

- The belt was the problem, but replacing the blade is my next step as well. I always use a very thin kerf blade, but this one's a few years old and I'm sure it's working harder than it needs to.
But thanks for the advice; already on it.

Does the motor stop aswell? If so, does it restart right away or do you have to leave it a while first?

Replace the blade. It is very dull. Cherry is very hard wood and should be only cut with a very sharp blade.
