Seriously, I have a 1 horse saw. I have ripped 2 inch thick liptus using a
combo blade. Had to be careful about feed rate but didn't have any problem
with it. More power would be nice but this works.


That's sounds alright and workin, but how does one find_out the exact horse power of a motor?


you don't.

there are so many ways to calculate horsepower that the term is almost
meaningless. a much more useful number for small power tools is watts.
