One of the things I think people...

Sorry but it's not a V8, its maybe an old VW motor, so I say THAT is underpowered. But honestly I got to say MOST saw are not underpowered, people just need to feed slower. I felt my old greenie was fine, I think my 11/8 hp 1980 SS is fine, and my 3/4 hp 1950's cast iron craftsman table saw is fine ...
