I have a 15 inch Pwermatic planer that has about 50-70 hours of use. Today I started to plane some 4/4 rough lumber and hit the start button. No response. Being a mechanical engineer with miminal practical electical experience, I need help on starting my toubleshooting adventure. I have a VOM and need a start point. I'm getting 220 at the outlet socket. I have a motor starter so how do I begin? Hopefully the problem is there and not the expensive motor.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
