Help!

I have a 20+ year old Craftsman Radial Arm Saw (model 113.199450), on
which the motor just burned out. Sears (noth the website and the phone
help people) says they can no longer get that motor because it's not
made anymore. The motor part # was 63608. Neither can I get parts for
it. At this point, the answer I get from Sears is to just pop on over
to my local Sears store & buy a new saw. However, that's about $600
more than I was hoping to spend.

Are there any other sources in the world for replacement motors? I've
googled the model & part numbers ti no avail. I was hoping someone
here knew of another electric motor source.

THanks!

Have you tried taking the motor to a local small shop that rewinds motors ?

These folks are great to deal with, and hey know their products! I'll
bet if you call them with every number off the motor itself, and the
basic dimensions, (Length, diameter, shaft diameter, horsepower,
etc.), they can fix you up with a motor. Motors are mostly universal
and generic. If there is anything special, it would be a mounting
bracket that can be swapped out from the original;. That doesn't
happen very often.

Well, it happened in this case -- this for a RAS which use integral
motors, not external mounts. The advice for a rewind shop is best bet.

Otherwise, somebody suggested Emerson as a last resort, but usually
built-for-brand parts are available only through the distributor of the
branded item, not the OEM so that's unlikely to be successful (but, of
course, no worse off than already and worth a shot).

The other alternative if it isn't a critical production item would be to
start the search for used similar machines either as a replacement parts
supply machine or to simply swap to a newer/different saw at less than
new price. RAS saws typically don't sell for very high prices so good
deals can be had if one has the time to be at least somewhat patient.

??? The place I mentioned can supply a replacement motor, as can any
electrical suppy house I've ever encountered. The motor was not custom
designed for that radial arm saw. A standard motor was specified by
whomever designed the saw. All you need is any numbers found on the
motor, and some dimensional information. This is not rocket science.

Then again, maybe the OP doesn't know the difference between "burned
out" and "just needs a new set of brushes installed".
