How much horsepower is really needed?
Okay, a friend of mine has been admonishing me not to buy a 1 1/2 HP
tablesaw. He says that a minimum of 3 HP is warranted for any decent tablesaw. Now, I'm not planning on going into the woodworking business. I just want to outfit my workshop with good equipment so that I can't blame the equipment on the lousy workmanship that comes out of it! The reviews for various 1 1/2 HP tablesaws seem very good. Whether it's Grizzly, Delta, or another good brand, people seem genuinely happy and satisfied with the abilities of those tablesaws. So .... Can anyone tell me why the extra horsepower would be needed? I doubt that I'll ever be cutting through anything thicker than 1 1/2". Heck, I'm not even sure how often I'd be doing that much! Thx!
