I am having difficulty sorting problem on my Elektra Beckum BAS315 bandsaw.
On start up I get a humming noise, but motor does not spin up.
I can get it going by pushing the blade with a stick- it then functions perfectly.
I found and read an earlier topic suggesting replacement of capacitator...
Has anyone ever made something similar to the Penguin Donkey bookcase and kept the plans?
Perhaps I am being a bit lazy as it is essentially very simple, but reinventing wheels does seem the ultimate waste of time.
