Jet 1236

Anyone have a Jet 1236 with a 3/4 hp motor? Mine has been running very hot, I have checked and everything seems fine. Please let me know if yours runs hot.
Thanks
Dennis

try blowing out the area in the front where the air goes into the motor. it may have dust in the motor.

Might need bearing replacement.
This was my problem.

You don't say what's getting hot, the motor or the hand wheel or housing, so it's only a guessing game.... my motor gets warm, but most electric motors generate some heat.
I have a Jet1442 that I just changed all the bearings and put a new spindle shaft in... the hand wheel seems to get warmer than it did...

Hi Chuck
The motor gets real hot, I can place my hand on it. Guess I will blow the motor out and start checking bearings.
Thanks

I pulled the motor off and brought it to an electric motor repair shop. I explained the motor was getting very hot, to hot to touch for more then 2 or 3 seconds, so he said he would tear it apart find what out what was going on. I received a call later in the day, (Tom the motor repair guy), he told he cleaned and checked everything and the only thing he found was the pulley had shifted and was rubbing on the housing. He said he let it run for a while and it stayed cool, so I will put it together today and see what happens.

Thanks for you help.
