model 520 question

Post by rdewinter »

Is the motor in the model 520 more powerful than in the model 510?
Since I'm not well versed in electric motors, what is important in an electric motor, the horsepower it generates, the volts or the amps?

Is this also one of the important differences in the model 520 vs the 510?

Hi Bob,
It is the same motor. The only difference is the fence and rail system.
