Belt
Never have heard of a belt breaking yet on the P20. A month old they should
replace it on warranty. Just a defective belt I guess. But that is not good to be out of a saw waiting for parts so soon.Rick Hutcheson

I have had my P 20 for about 3 years and have never broken a belt. Like Rick said must have been a defective belt.
Give Delta a call they will send you a new one.

barnja, My P-20 developed a strange noise last winter in the belt area. I discovered a small bump on the belt was hitting the bottom. Must not be very much clearance there. I took some sandpaper and sanded the bump off thus solving the worrysome noise. MickMick, - Delta P-20

Sure sounds like a factory defect from whatever company makes those belts for Delta.
A belt packing in sure beats a VS speed controller from packing in though whether it is under warranty or not.. And especilally if the warranty has run out. I am glad for you that you will be getting a new belt under your two year warranty.
Three and a half years and thousands of hours of heavy stack sawing on mine and the original belt still looks like new. I cleaned it with a little warm soapy water about a year ago because it looked dirty but aside from that , regulary putting a couple drops of oil in the oil cups every 25 hours as recommended , that has been about the extent of my service requirements. It's been an awasome saw.

Ah pantyhose,
The universal belt replacement: good enough for the car, good enough for the scrollsaw.
There actually was an ad where the guy was on the side of the road with a broken fan belt, and the beautiful girls stops to help. You're thinking that he is lucky and is going to score when you see her reaching under her skirt. Next shot she finishes tying the pantyhose on the pulleys and takes off with a big smile with the female announcer saying that women have some advantages over men (or something to that effect). I believe it was an ad for pantyhose, but don't really remember the brand, only remembered the trick in case I ever got in that situation.
Glad you found a way to prevent withdrawal symptoms while waiting for the replacement belt

Reply to Testing this blower motorby RolfWithout the complete schematic it is hard to know what is correct.
That said, it is a multispeed blower that obviously has a controller board. That board varies the power to the motor. By doing what you did you bypassed that. You put power across the low and high windings. If any thing connecting...-

Reply to Testing this blower motorby evilbadgerIf he connected to red and black and the motor spun wouldn't that indicate the motor is grounded? Without connecting the white the circuit isn't complete and the motor should not spin.

Reply to Testing this blower motorby cwmageeThe reason for the smoke is incorrect wiring, posible melted insulation between motor windings and motor frame.
You mentioned connecting power to the red & and black wire. Did you do anything with White wire? Per the lable on the motor the black wire is high the Red is low. White common...-
