Mike,
Have you changed the way the saw gets power? It may be on too small a wire,
causing voltage drop. My Powermatic 66 has a 2 H.P., 220v motor, but
requires a 50A breaker, and #8 wire to spin it up and under load.
Peace,
Pat

Don't know and yes it is running at normal speed.

Not recently but yes I have regularly when using the saw, I did it again
over the weekend and I will see if that helps.

Yes it does.

I threw in a new blade over the weekend along with a really good cleaning
of the motor, we will see what happens but from the responses I got it seems
its likely not the motor itself, just poor maintenance and dull blade, I
have quite a bit of cutting within the next few weeks so I will test it.
