I am a fairly new SS owner. Bought V about a month ago. Works fine in the E-H power range but when I configure to use table saw motor loses power. At times it will catch and start to spin again but when I put wood to the blade it stops. Sounds like the motor is running fine. Bad belts? I took apart headstock and removed main drive belt. Powered up motor and it runs fine. Any one have any ideas on where to go next. Thanks!
