    Hi road144mad, sorry about that but you mite try the brushes or maybe tis your armature. I`m a trial & error sort of guy. If that's not it ,and it did not cost that much ,maybe you should consider buying a new one. I hope it works my friend.

Looking for a on/off switch for a craftsman 8" bench grinder
Sears Craftsman is usually easy as Sears Parts Direct has diagrams and part numbers.
However your switch number 31919063033 is no longer available. I would suggest checking out online places like Digikey or Newark for a switch that will work for you. As long as the Voltage, amperage and number of poles and will fit in the space provided you should be OK.

I have an old Craftsman bench grinder that I got at an auction. I need a capacitor and the one on it has no markings. It is a 1hp model 319.19063. Sears Parts direct says that it is no longer available and...
this is a "Split-Phase"motor it uses only a run capacitor and a typical capacitance rated MFD rating will be between 80 and 290 MFD, go to www. grainger..com and they will have your part,and even if its an older unit and the model/serial/number is available take it with you & they will have a replacement capacitor available in the correct size/dimension/mfd/etc

I have a Craftsman Commercial 1/2 HP Bench grinder. When I turn it on It just hums. It doesn't turn. Can you tell me what is wrong and which part I need to change? Thank you, Marlan PS: I have misplaced...
The motor has a high spot on the armature causing the motor to stop rotating. The humming noise is the fields full of current which is making the armature to react to make this noise. For the money purchase a new bench grinder which is an easier fix than dumping money into your old one here

I need a replacement switch for a craftsman 1/2 HP bench grinder model#397.19441. I have no owners manual or parts list. This grinder is several years old.
this switch is no longer available from Sears, so I suggest making a wiring drawing and taking the switch to a local electrical supply house and try matching it up with a replacement. It seems to be a simple on/off type switch and I would think that you should have no problem. Let me know if you do and give me the information on the switch and I will try some other sites I know.

Switch and capacitor crapped out on 1/2 hp Sears bench grinder
Replacement should be simple. Just do a one for one hookup with the new part, after you unplug it first.
