I have the following motor on the way, which I will be installing in my Jet 14" bandsaw:

It will replace the OEM 1 HP 110/220 motor. The OEM motor plate says the amperage is 10 @ 110v. The new motor's full load amps are 8.3. So is it fair to assume that since the switch could handle at least 10 amps from the OEM motor at 110v, that it can handle 8.3 amps at 230v?
I thought about switching (no pun intended) to a magnetic switch, but got sticker shock!
Thanks!
Peter
