Hi. It's me again. I'm still fussing with my table saw after replacing the belt. The pulley stays in place now, I think thanks to a good cleaning. But no matter where I position it on the shaft, I hear a loud clicking when the motor is running. I think (but I can't be 100% sure) that the sound is coming from the motor and not the saw arbor. If I run the motor without the belt it runs smoothly.
This is a 2hp motor and a Rexon RW10 table saw. I bought it in 1993. Do you think one of the motor bearings needs replacing? What's normal for wear and tear? Sure it's been 14 years, but it probably only sees a few hours of duty per month. I hope I don't have to shell out $300 for a new motor!
