Thanks Guys. I appreciate the responses and the link.

IIRC, the 36-650 is a right tilt saw that requires a motor that spins CCW. The Cman 113s are left tilt and spin CW. The motors would have to be reversible to be interchangeable.

With that said, the 36-650 is worth easily more than $50. Buy it! If the motor runs, it's probably worth close to $100. The fence, leg stand, wings, miter gauge, switch, guard, motor mount, guard bracket, etc., all have some value. Plus, it was a decent contractor saw. With a decent blade and good alignment, it should work well.

Very helpful response! I appreciate that. After doing some research, I found the same information about the motors. I'm picking the saw up today, like you said, it's well worth the $50. If nothing else, I'll steal the fence off of it and put it on the Cman (it still has the stock fence and it is terrible) until I can afford the T3 or Vega.

Steve - It's not a direct drive, it's a belt driven contractor saw. The owner inherited it with a home purchase and does not have a use for it.

Nice forum you guys have here, I think I'll stick around for a bit. Thanks again!

I don't believe it.

I picked up the saw and brought it home. The guy thought the motor was seized, so I took it off the saw and thought I would give the pulley a turn by hand....yep, seized up tight...then I grabbed the channel locks, thinking what the heck can't hurt it. Sure enough it broke free and spun easily. Hung it back on the saw and plugged it in and it took off running. The top needs cleaned up and the motor needs a new pulley (it's plastic and it's cracked) and belt, and I think the switch is bad because it comes on as soon as I plug it in no matter if the switch is off or on. But, I think I just got lucky and scored a 36-650 for $50.

Lucky. no kidding!

Yeah - Really lucky! Where is the best website to source a motor pulley? anybody know?
