I was running a dewalt tile table saw and was cutting and the blade kind of caught on the tile and stopped spinning. when i turned it off it wont turn back on?
I have an old craftsman table saw with a 115/230 volt 1 h.p. motor. The motor starts fine but slows then stall when cutting wood. It is wired correctly. It is a 60 Hz A.C. capacitor start motor. When I bought the saw at a yard sale, it had a 230 volt plug on it. Any ideas? I have an old craftsman table saw with a 115/230 volt 1 h.p. motor.

The top of the blade spins toward you, but maybe you are asking which way the blade should go? If this is a tile saw, the teeth are tiny bits of diamond and will work in either direction. If this is blade with visible teeth, as for cutting wood, the points of the teeth should be toward you on the top of the blade. Good luck.
First thing I would check is that the table is square to the blade. If the back edge of the table that pushes the tile through the blade isn't perpendicular to the blade the cut will start fine but as you go through the tile the table will be pushing the tile into the side of the blade and cause a huge amount of friction, making the motor work harder and eventually pop the circuit breaker.
Check blade is on properly. Remove blade and clean area where mounts to shaft. Make sure proper washers are in place. If blade is bent or wobbles replace. If blade is dull replace. Be sure you're getting enough water to saw. Don't force the tile through, let the saw do the work. Nothing helps any kind of saw more than a nice new blade.
How thick is the diamond bearing segment running around the rim of the blade? There needs to be at least an eighth inch. The last part contains no diamonds. If their is sufficient diamond left the material you were cutting may not have been abrasive enough to expose new sharp diamods. You can cut a small piece of asphalt. This will wear the matrix down so new diamonds are exposed.
Your motor brushed sound like they're gone bad. Some electric motors have two small plugs on the side which house the brushes. See if yours has this and get new parts. The other possibility is that the bearings are corroded and has built up enough resistance to stop everything. Might not be able to replace those, however.
The bearings in your saw need to be replaced. I would contact a DeWalt store to obtain the parts or have them do the repair. You have an excellent saw there, well worth repairing. good luck.
Since tiles are so thick, brittle, and made of ceramic, a special saw must be used. An ordinary circular saw for wood or metal would either break the tile or get so hot that it would seize up and stop cutting. However, ceramic tile is not cut well with sharp blades. The wet tile saw was invented to address all these unique properties of ceramic. It doesn't overheat, uses a relatively dull blade with no serrations, and can be transported to a job site and set up on top of an existing table or sawhorses.
