I have an old Craftsman table saw made in the 1940's and I tried to get the old motor rebuilt. The man said it was too far gone. It is a 1/3 HP motor. I don't know how many RPM it is. The motor has a bracket and it is connected to a pivot which allows the motor to hang off the end of the wooden base the saw is bolted to. I feel as if I need to go to a 1/2 HP motor, but I do not know what kind of motor to select. I know I need a motor which has a bracket it I mount it back like the old motor. Another problem is I do not know how many RPM's a table saw motor should have. Any help would be appreciated as to the proper motor and the RPM's. Thanks in advance.
