Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
I'm having problems with my Jet JTS-600 table saw. When i press the start button it gets up to speed, then trips the RCD to my workshop (every time).
First i upgraded my RCD to a 100 amp version which should be able to handle anything. It worked a couple of times while my electrician was present, but then as soon as i started using it, surprise surprise, it tripped again. It has a run capacitor, but no start capacitor. This looks fine on visual inspection, but i bought a new one anyway, but this didn't help.
There seems to be some resistance when i turn the blade by hand , but i've only had the saw a couple of months (was six months old when i bought it) and i think it's always been like this. There was no noise when running to suggest bearing problems. I've tried both loosening and tightening the belt.
My last resort was to plug it directly to a plug socket in my annex (no RCD). It got up to speed, emitted a small puff of smoke, then cut out (thermal overload?). I haven't tried this again!
As i'm the second owner, a waranty repair isn't an issue. Blade is new and top quality (to the point where i'm cutting my fingers turning it by hand!).
What do i rule out next?
Any advice appreciated.
