I understand that many cheap foreign made ac motor do not last long. What is wrong with them? I assume cheap bearings fail soon, bad start switches on single phase ones. Are the coils too small of wire for the load, bad insulation, or something else. Forrest would say the coils need to be removed and given a dip and bake.
Is there anything that can be done if I buy a machine with a cheap motor to increase the time before failure in a home shop situation.
