Hi,
I hope I posted in the right place.
Well, I need your advice about the motors.
I will buy a new motor for the table saw. Which brands do you prefer? what brands are better to avoid?
And please help me with the specs.
Thanks!

I’m going to take the baldor https://www.mrosupply.com/motors/ac-motors/general-purpose-motors/26523_vm3546_baldor/
But I really hesitate about this supplier. I need to be shipped to my location.
Also, I considered the WEG motors, but they are manufactured in Brazil and it stops me from buying them. However, they are much cheaper…

Baldor is a good brand. You don't mention what saw. If it is a quality motor you might just have it rewound at your local motor shop it will be as good or better than new.
I am now also in such a search, but unfortunately I realized that it was necessary to buy the whole table again, and not just the engine. Here are a few varantas for those who need it, good luck to all.
