Mr. Self confirmed...

One hore does equal 746 watts, but--that would mean the Bosch delivers 2-1/3
horses, which I am sure is high. You probably need to figure 65% of that, for
motor efficiency, though it might be as high as 70%. So, at 70%, you have 1.63
HP. Which is very close to 1-1/2 HP.



My Grizz DC is only rated at 2HP, sucking up 12 amps of 230 volt
power. Let's see, crunching the numbers, the motor is capable of
3.7HP, so it's only 54% efficient. Is that a mark of poor quality, or
just an overly honest appraisal of the motor's output?
