I've been using an aging clarke 18" saw for a while now, it's been a good saw which needed a few tweaks every now and then to keep it running good, along with some quick change clamps and such.
well this weekend it got hung up, the motor wasn't starting correctly.
so I stripped it down last night and rebuilt it before my next bit of work (wall sign).
now I wish I hadn't bothered. nothing to do with it making the saw worse, it's made the damn thing work properly again, the speed it's running now is what it should be, the issue I have is that I'd obviously gotten used to it running slower, so now I need to learn to cut at full speed again. ah well. still a good little (or not so little) saw that will now cut like a demon again.
so moral of the story, be careful what you wish for.
