Did you ever figure out your saw why it just hums mine is doing the same is the Chicago tc250b tile saw
I have the same saw, I wear a glove and turn the blade, make sure you unblug the saw.
Sounds like a shorted motor,or a dead spot on the armature. Try rotating the blade manually with no power first, then plug it in to see if it starts up. Don't let it hum for more than a second at a time, or it's sure to burn up the motor our trip the breaker.

The bearings in your saw need to be replaced. I would contact a DeWalt store to obtain the parts or have them do the repair. You have an excellent saw there, well worth repairing. good luck.

if your blade is newer or even well used,one way to make it cut better is find a used brick or a piece of a concrete block and cut through them,what really works best is a carborundum stone that setters use to hone cut edges of tile,you can get 1 at any tile store or home depot for 5 bucks. another trick is to lightly pull up on the table towards end of cut, if they keep breaking at end of cut, and you have the gauge set simply flip tile up side down and start your cut then back it off flip it over and cut through. all saw cuts leave minor chips on cut edge, we always stone cuts. cutting a brick cleans debris off blade. MAKE SURE WATER IS PRESENT WHEN CUTTING
SOURCE: I have a 10" ridgid
With bigger tiles I have to cut more than half way, and then turn tile around and cut last bit from other direction.
You might be able to cut half way down tile, and then move tile forward on tray.
My wheels come to a stopper and don't run off the track, so my saw is different than yours.

Hi,
First off the saw may be repairable... the motor brushes are probably worn out. However finding the proper brushes and then getting a person to repair them is another story. The total cost and inconvenience will probably be more then a new saw.
If you happen to have a motor repair shop nearby, I would take it in and get an estimate on the repair cost before authorizing the work to be done. This will insure that you do not spend more then the saw is worth to repair the motor.
If you do not have a motor shop nearby then you are out o luck...I would not recommend trying to repair it yourself, as this is a tedious job that requires some special tools and experience to do properly.
