10'' table saw binding?

If I understood correctly, you started using your husband's table saw and while ripping boards, you managed to stall out the blade AND motor?! If that's the case, you probably have a very dull blade and are binding your board on the blade. Neither is safe and it sounds like trouble is brewing.

First and foremost, get someone to show you how to safely and properly use and adjust the saw if you are new to wood working and power tools. That saw is capable of turning your lumber into a high speed missal if you do things improperly.

It also sounds like you tried installing a new 10" saw blade. Changing the blade requires 2 wrenches. One to hold the arbor and one to tighten the nut. The blade itself should rest on the arbor between two large washers. Also make sure you install the blade so the front face of the cutter teeth face you and rotate toward you. Make sure the saw is unplugged when changing the blade and never turn on your saw with a loose blade.

If it actually binds and stops the motor...... it sounds like the motor is bad, the bearings are bad, or the blade is on backwards. If the motor keeps spinning, but the blade stops then the gears are bad or the blade bolt is not tight.

Look for reset button on saw motor or on cabinet.

There is no electric brake on the Bosch 4100 table saw. If the motor sounds like it is being held back its possible the rear armature bearing has seized or the field coil is faulty. Both these problems cause the motr to not turn at full speed. The motor must be serviced.

Your adjustment should be done on the rip fence which will align it to the blade for strait non binding cuts.

The bearings may be packed with sawdust. Clean it out, look for any place where there could be movement and squirt WD40 in those areas, while cranking. This may free it up.

Unplug the saw. Remove the plate that the blade goes through this will allow access to the nut. Raise the blade several inches above table deck. Place a block of wood under the teeth to bind the blade so it won't rotate you should be standing on the infeed side of the blade. With a wrench loosen the nut (Towards You) Reverse to reinstall. It is also a good idea to wear leather gloves in case you slip the blades can still do damage even when dull. Hope this helps please rate if this was helpful in any way. Good Luck and have a great weekend.

i would say the table is twisted then, strip it down first and if you need to "bend!" it back so it works

Try spraying the threaded rod and gears with pure silicone spray and allow 10 minutes for it to dry before trying to raise the blade
Use compressed air to blow out everything you can
INCLUDING the motor Keeping thing blown clean with allow the unit to work better and last longer

Use a washer as a shim on the shaft for the motor.
