I have a bunch of Cameron Drill presses, These were made in CA. starting in the 1960s and stayed nearly unchanged for 50 years. The motors they originally used were built for them and I understand they have run out of them and the parts. They were a 110 volt motor with brushes kind of like a sewing machine motor. I have one that when I take it apart everything looks fine but when I turn it on it starts off slow and blows a lot of smoke out of it and then it seems to run smooth and at speed after a minute or so. It also stops blowing smoke. I do not think there is too much tension on the belt or any other source of resistance in the spindle or motor bearings.
So what should I be looking for as a cause to this problem?
Thanks
