Drill Press

Drill Press
Motor hums but no torque on inexpensive table top drill press?

The motor won’t start revolving but seems well lubricated. Up to this point in time it has always worked fine. I’m not aware of anything that I did to change this since it just sits in the garage between uses. This is one of those inexpensive, under $100, drill presses that has worked fine for light jobs. What type of troubleshooting could I do with a VOM or taking motor cap of and visually inspecting? How would I know by looking inside the motor cage if something was not right?

remove the motor,
take the bottom end off, check the centrifugal switch on the shaft of the motor,
mine did that and the C-switch was stuck cleaned it up with 400 grit sand paper, works fine
