Bosch - 4000 defective motor

[keith]

The motor on my 4000 just burned out after only a couple of years of occasional use. A motor repair specialist suggested I use his dumpster to get rid of it, because there was no way that I could justify the repair costs compared to a new Rigid on sale at $399.00 with a life time warranty.

Burned out motors are a common problem with table saws, often because people push material through the saw too quickly. It costs around $200 to replace the armature and field in the Bosch 4000 saw, or about half the price of a new tool. Definitely expensive, but it could be a worthwhile repair.

A Ridgid saw does not really have a life time warranty. The warranty only covers defects in workmanship or material.
