The fastest metal removal rate in a shop I worked in was also a

200 hp Blanchard!


Locally we have one of 9,800 hp...


Yep, wrong, I phoned them and it's 10,725 hp.

Someone may be pulling your leg.

Just think about the size of the power source that could make 10,000
HP.


Just two NHRA top fuel motors with some left over.


Great, but you only get to grind for 4 1/2 seconds between rebuilds.....
