Chinese made motors, are highly overrated. That's why I replaced it with a USA made model.
The new motor I have now, doesn't get too hot to touch, even with long run times.

Electrical equipment running at rated is often near 40c, or higher which is indeed too hot to comfortably touch.
Much is rated for a 30c RISE in a 40c ambient.

Free, is a very good price! A better price than I paid for my Grizzly saw no doubt!
I'm happy with it. I adjusted it when I got it, and have had to adjust the tracking a couple times, as it vibrates loose over time. I've replaced all of the guide bearings, and he motor finally started giving out last years, so I replaced it with an American made model. I'm sure I killed it, by sawing for hours on end on some big projects, and getting the motor so hot I couldn't lay a finger on it.
I cut mostly alloys, like 1045 & 4140Q&T, and 304, & 316 stainless steels, so I run nothing but 10/14 bi-metal as well. I could cut aluminum, and the bronzes I use more effeciently with other blades, and have, but do fine running nothing but the 10/14's.

This conversation, sure makes me glad I bought a Grizzly!

Mine was free for helping a guy clean out his shop after 3 (yes , 3)
giant oak trees fell on it . I don't even know what brand it is (it's
kinda metallic green where it still has paint), but it cuts adequately
square for me . I usually use 10/14 M42 blades , unless cutting thin
sections , then I go to an 18t carbon steel blade .
