How many watts does a table saw pull?

The typical table saw in a hobbyist woodworker’s shop is about 2 hp and will need about 1,725 watts to run smoothly. Running smoothly also has to do with how you attempt to use it. A 2 hp motor in your table saw can handle cutting a 2” thickness, but the motor will be taxed too much to cut something larger.

How much horsepower does a table saw have?

Aiming for a table saw that’s 18-AMPS is reasonable professional work, both in terms of price and performance. Your power consumption will be much higher, but at least the tool can achieve a maximum cutting strength of 5-HP.

How many rpms does a table saw turn?

Ellis Walentine: Most table saws run in the 3,000 to 4,000 rpm range. You could decrease your blade rpm to 4,140 by increasing the size of the arbor pulley to 2 1/2″.

What size motor do you need for a table saw?
