My mid size (but not old monster, such as one sees in lumber yrads!)
bench saw has a separate one HP AC induction motor hanging out the
back using the weight of the motor to tension the drive belt. The step
up ratio, is, I think, about 2.5 to 1
Motor has thermal reset; some sort of starting contacts/winding AFIK;
no capacitor. It is connected in 230 volt mode. Was fortunate to
eventually find a double pole switch which have mounted on saw base.
Fortunately never had to have that motor apart.
But just curious? Do some of those all-in-one motorized bench saws
have a brush motor (direct drive) buried under the saw deck. I guess
in that case the saw blade is mounted directly on the motor arbor?

What you have might be a repulsion-induction motor. Alas, they were
discontinued in the mid 1950's.
And, my saw has such a motor.

Next time you go the store, turn any table saw that costs less
than 300 upside down. They are basically a skilsaw (not
necessarily Skilsaw brand) bolted upside down in there. Yes, they
have brushes.

Ah yes, some small saws with universal motors have brushes. Glad you were
able to learn something from Usenet today.

I will admit ignorance of "table saw motor". Are you saying there are no
brushes in universal single phase AC motors? I'm sure Milwaukee would love
to know this.

Yes, many of the 'newer' cheap ones use brushes. Not surprising at
all.
