Saw motor runs but blade stops when try to cut

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    I would have to guess that you are maybe missing either the inner flange or spacer under flange, is saw blade tight and is the rotation correct. Let me know the brand and model if not and I will try to help

Macallister chop saw blade problem, the motor runs but when half way through cutting wood the blade stops ?

I'm not sure if you have a chop saw or circular saw. Either way, it sounds like the nut and washer are not tight enough to hold the blade. If you have a circular saw clockwise will tighten the nut and washer onto the blade and hold it in place. Most chop saws are a left hand thread and then you would turn the nut counter clockwise to hold the blade tighter. The blade wobbles because it is not tight.

My saw stops rotating during cutting

does the motor stop? If not the gears are worn between armature and spindle. If it does stop you could be applying too much pressure trying to cut with a blunt blade or there is an armature fault.

Saw stops when i start cutting 1/2 plywood.

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.

When using saw the blade comes to a stop on its own thro wood

Does the motor continue to run? If so, the blade retaining bolt may not be tight enough. Most saws have a 'stop' pin which locks the drive during the blade tightening procedure. Make sure the blade is very sharp to reduce cutting effort. Hope this helps!

Blade stops going once it hits the metal to be cut.

inside the motor/arbor section of the saw, there is a helical gear and worm drive on the motor. the front of the motor is supported by a bearing in the aluminum arbor section. sounds like most of the bearing balls are disintegrated and the worm disengages when a load is put on it but spins when there is no load. I would check and replace the front bearing.

Motor stops after about 5 minutes of running

What are you cutting? What type of blade, power supply, etc are you using. It sounds like the thermal overload is cutting out.
Try looking for a little (red) button on the motor itself that pops out slightly when the motor cuts off.(due to overheating). If you push that in, will the saw start running again?

Blade does not turn

Disconnect the electric from the saw. Remove the throat blade cover. Bring the blade all the way up. Look for wood  caught between the blade and anything else. Finding none,remove blade. Try motor w/o blade. If it runs now,w/o the blade then the motor is likely ok . Reinstall blade. Now if it stil stalls, Replace motor.
