Yes, just don't believe the "horsepower" rating (ie, a "2 hp" treadmill
motor appears to be about a "1HP" equivalent in real horsepower, IME)

That reminds me of a band saw I have, a Sears with a tilting head.
Actually an OK saw for the money but it's advertising claimed the
motor "develops" 1 1/2 HP and it's on the saw in such a way as to
make you think that's what the motor is. But it really only has a 5/8
HP motor.
