First I would check the voltage at the motor, you may have a loose screw somewhere in the circuit. Second I would wait for some of the sparky’s to chime. Third, before you do anything else, change that 60 amp breaker to a 30 amp! Actually, maybe that’s first….the breaker protects the wiring, in this case it ain’t gonna work.

You are correct in assuming that something has been overlooked or miswired. Please post pics of the wiring inside you motor, inside the switch, and inside the plug you added.

...My multi meter is showing 236v (116 on one prong and 120 on the other)...

If you are measuring each hot to ground you can’t just add the two readings and be sure that’s the voltage between them.. You have to actually put a probe on each hot at the same time (no probe on ground) and measure that voltage. Do that on your switch, not the wall receptacle.

Replaced the breaker, Checked the voltage, properly, and opened the 6-15 replacement plug to find that my father in law had a hot and the ground in the wrong clips. Swapped them out and the saw hums, easily handles anything I’ve been able to throw at it so far with a new Freud blade. Now I just need to swap out the 20A breaker on the switch with a 10A, which of course is out of stock at Grizzly. Thanks for the help.
