larger mtr for jet bandsaw?
I have a two year old jet 18" bandsaw and was wondering if it was
possible to exchange the 1.5hp mtr with a 3.0hp mtr and where are they available from. I'm not interested in raising the lenght of the cutting leve but with all the maple and walnut i'm cutting the 1.5 is many times just up to the job. tks Don |

Hi Don
Take a look at the surplus center, $79.95 for a 3 hp motor, I would not have a problem trading motors on my band saw, YMMV Using a appropriate blade on your band saw may be all that is required though, and would be a lot less costly. However here is the link to the surplus center http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.as...name=electricT Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo Don wrote: I have a two year old jet 18" bandsaw and was wondering if it was possible to exchange the 1.5hp mtr with a 3.0hp mtr and where are they available from.
