I have an old delta miter box model #34-010. When switched on the motor throws blue sparks. The brushes look good. I also took out the armature and cleaned it up with emery cloth. It still arcs. Is this saw finally dead? I'm out of ideas. Can anyone advise?
I've got you beat, I still have a 34-010 rockwell-international, 29 years, still works great. It has trimmed a lot of homes and commercial jobs. Other than the 9" blades, it has not been touched. I never use the brake so that may be why the belt is still the same one that it came with. It has been one of the best tools I've ever owned. It must have been AMERICAN made.

Situation: I have a very old Delta 34-010 power miter box.
Yeah, when I say it is old, believe me, it is. My guess is
that it is 30 years or so. It was given to me and I use it
as a chop box. Well, the belt went on it, so I brought a
replacement belt. The problem is that there isn't enough
clearance between the drive pully and the housing to slide
the new one on.
Question: Does anyone know how to, or where I can
get the instructions on how to replace this?
