Motor HP

[Robben77]

I need to swap my motor on my lathe and I’ve got one potentially on another machine to put it it’s place buts it’s 1.5kw as opposed to the 2.2kw one that’s on there now, would it make much difference?

Harrison m300, occasional use really

a 2hp should be ok unless your running at high speed and taking bonus cuts
