Hey everyone!
I can not choose the right motor for my DeWalt table saw. This model DWE7491RS. Are there any reliable brands? The budget is $200.
The technical characteristics I am looking for:
Single HP / 1725 RPM / TEFC preferred / 56C frame size
Thanks!

Put a 1/2 size pulley on it and get a HF 3450 rpm 15 A 240V motor for $100, 56 frame. HF calls it 5 HP but really is just 3 HP.
I have one on my TS, and a few other places also, never any problems, one is 12 years old.
However, appears your DW is only a 120 Vac model, at 15 A that is only 1-1/2 HP or so. Might have to go to ebay,
who fixes anything any more! why waste your time...just replace it.
JUST KIDDING hound, dont freak out!
well, I can buy motor with these specifications https://www.mrosupply.com/motors/ac-motors/single-phase-motors/1310964_5018os1aec56_weg/
Is it a good manufacturer? I hesitate because I know the motors are made in Brazil...
I don't think that motor would be good on a tablesaw, it's made to run a fan. See if there is a motor repair shop that will look at it, they can get a suitable replacement if it is a goner.

What did the desalt service center say?
