I have yet to purchase a 4x6 bandsaw (harbor freight) and all this talk about overheating and burning up motors is making me question if I should buy one.
? Don't let it worry you . I did burn up a motor on mine , but it was my own fault . One should no more leave a saw cutting unattended than one should walk away from a lathe making a cut . I knew my motor was getting weak , it hung in a cut and I didn't notice until all the magic smoke had escaped . And I was standing within a few feet ... but occupied on the lathe . This is actually more rare than it sounds , those who have burned one up are usually those who use their saw a LOT .
