I have a reliant 6" jointer with a 1hp motor. It was set up for 110V when I bought it new about 8 or 9 years ago. I put 220 in my garage, so I rewired the motor to run on 220. Everything was fine until we moved and it sat for a year or so. My new garage didnt have 220, so I rewired it for 110v. Since then, the motor starts a little slow, then bogs down pretty easily when feeding stock, even on a very light cut. So I ran a 220 line to my garage, switched the jointer back over to 220, and turned on the machine to a horrific sound that could best be described as something that was getting ready to blow up. I checked my wiring and tried again, same deal. So i wired it back to 110 and its back to the slow startup and bogging down. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be? I was thinking capacitor but it does start and Im not sure that explains the bogging problem. Harbor freight has a 1.5 hp motor that would work, but if its something simple, I would just as soon fix it myself. My table saw and bandsaw are running fine on the new 220 line.
Thanks
