Recently acquired a decent 2 hp 110/220a motor, and am now wondering if
it would be too much for my little BS. Has anyone had any experience
with big motors on small bandsaws? Would this be the funny car of the
woodshop?

Regards,

I have a cheap 12" Crapsman, aluminum framed bandsaw. It came with a 1/3 HP
motor. It was not enough! I had a 1-1/2 HP motor laying around that I
slapped into it! Works much better now!
I don't think you can have too much HP!
