How much horsepower is really needed?
There's a lot more to the power capability than simply upgrading the
motor. For one, I doubt the single belt drive on a contractors saw
would be up to transmitting the power from a 3 hp motor. That's why
most cabinet saws have 2 and 3 belt drive systems. I think your
comment was ill advised. If you want to upgrade, sell the current saw
and buy a new one.
