Looking for a 5hp motor for a delta 10" 5hp table saw

If that is a unisaw it takes a little work to make a standard motor fit. If you want three phase should be able to find one cheaper.

5 hp obsolete.

It might cost about the same as new to have the existing motor rewound. Shipping is a killer for buying used motors unless you get lucky. Dave

The run capacitor went out. The motors fine. Can't find the motor or capacitor
You can use a generic capacitor. See if you can find what size is needed for that motor & then go to a motor shop & get one. The shop could probably even tell you what size would work for that motor. And they are not expensive.

Check the local electric motor shops. I had the capacitor go out on my Delta dust collector and the local shop set me up with a generic capacitor which has been going strong for over 5 years.

The saw shop is headed down that road but the replacement isn't going to look good. They have to mount it in a different location. Still looking out for a motor.

I'm confused. You say the motor's fine, then why are you looking for a new motor?

Because the aftermarket or substitute capacitor doesn't look like it belongs to the motor

How old is the saw? The owwm guys might be able to source capacitors that fit. Hard for me to believe that replacements can't be found. Dave
