I smoked the motor in my Jet Bandsaw. Can someone suggest a place to get a new motor. Never had to replace one before.

Looked on the Jet parts site and they want over $300 for a replacement motor. I didn't pay that much for the saw new. Gonna look around for a cheap new one or a rebuild.
What size motor is on the saw... I bought a new motor for my 1014 lathe from Jet and it wasn't anywhere near that price... my lathe is out of warranty or I think they would have replaced it for free.... they've sent me two tailstock spindle bolts and quills for the ones I ruined drilling pepper mills.
1/2 hp single phase 1750 rpm. After talking to jet it may turn out to be a burned out capacitor. took the old one out and it was not holding a charge. It may have been what smoked. Now I need to find a new one online. No eletronic shops around me.
After I bought my new motor (I didn't check the capacitor before I bought), I discovered the switch was messed up... I had already changed the motor when I discovered the switch problem... I'm thinking my problem never was the motor, just the switch... so I now have a spare motor (I think.. haven't checked it yet either).
Yep. Make sure you use an insulated handled screwdriver & touch it to both terminals to short it out before working on it.Okay, maybe a dumb question, but where would I look for the capacitor? Is it under the cover on the side of the motor?
