Default Band Saw

*I'll call the
tool's site to see if someone can measure that 1hp motor's shaft.

Just out of curiosity, would you actually not buy the bandsaw or
change yur mind on what you are willing to bid if you had to replace a
$5 pully?

Also, of course you can put in a bigger motor but if the original saw
didn't come with that larger motor sized option, there is no guarantee
the backbone can handle the torques generated by a bigger motor
cutting at capacity. Of course that sucker looks well beefy enough,
but I'm just sayin'.
