I have a question for you electrical experts. I have an older bench top grinder that has a grinding wheel on one side and a wire wheel on the other. The grinder itself is nothing special, 1/2 hp, 3.5 amps so if it ends up being toast no big loss. Might be time to replace anyway.
Before, whenever I would use it and really get after something on it, no problem, it kept going full speed ahead. Suddenly if I put the same pressure on either wheel it slows the motor down to almost a complete stop. Checked to make sure nothing is loose (shafts, wheels, nuts, etc.), nothing. Everything is tight as can be.
Time to replace or easy fix?
Thanks~
