I need to replace the capacitor on the baldor motor on my target wet saw.i cant read the numbers on the capacitor and cant find any info on the motor except 1 and one half hp at 1170 rpm

Let me know th model number of your saw. The number you gave is a unisaw, not made anymore but highly desirable The motor may have been changed because the original motor if you can find one is extremely expensive. The original motor does not use capacitors. let me know more about the motor mfg, hp model number frame size voltage.

Much would depend on whether it is a start capacitor or a start/run capacitor.
If there is a switch on the end of the rotor operated by centrifugal weights it will be a start capacitor only but if there is no centrifugal switch the capacitor will need to do double-duty and the value could be critical.

Contacting a dealer or the manufacturer would be favourite but a motor specialist might be able to make a recommendation. Guessing isn't really an option and the working voltage of the capacitor is equally important. Most generic capacitors are rated in dc volts and for them to be safe used on ac mains the working voltage must be considerably higher than the rms value of the ac mains. It is best to use only capacitors rated for ac mains.

You will probably find the capacitor as a spare part from a dealer will be prohibitively expensive but once the value has been discovered and if possible the manufacturer, part number and so forth, great savings can be made by sourcing direct from the capacitor manufacturer.

I recently paid less than £5 plus carriage plus VAT for a capacitor the machine manufacturer wanted more then £60 for.
Good luck!

water in it

Try to contact ereplacement . Or check out the motor from Baldor electric company. They have available motors. If you need band saw blade, my supplier is sawblade.com . Check them out.

1st of all what color is it,light blue is targer,red is mk yellow or orange is felker,black is pearl,if it has a baldor motor it might be target,or felker.good luck

Baldor has 26 plants in US, Canada, England, Mexico and China.The 612R is ball bearing, uses size 6203 bearings.

We are currently experiencing a problem with the target TA10100 wet saw. It will start up and immediately shutdown. The local authorized tool repair said that the part encased on the top of the Baldor motor is called a capacitor. we have yet to find out if this is the cause of the problem. Hope the information helps you because so far it hasn't helped us.

You didn't give a model,here's a manual on their motors and the wiring diagrams,they start on page 2-9.It should get you there,or you can check out their other manuals on the same page .Take care!
