The spot welds on the motor mount for my compressor motor broke and smoked the belt. I hadent been in the garage in two days and dont know how long it was going. (it wasnt pumping air so no pressure shutoff for the motor).

good news is they said they would warranty the motor.

bad news is im out for 7 to 10 days.

Not good! I thought Porter Cable was better than that, but I guess people make em and people make mistakes. You will just have to go back to the old elbow grease method of wrenching and sanding.

Inclusions or impurities in the weld. Every once in a while one will break from the factory...

The service center said that the motor was $250. so i guess im lucky that its being replaced for free. The countdown begins!

the motor was a 7hp GE.
