I have a BS1400 bandsaw with a 3/4 HP, 1725 rpm motor. My only major complaint I have is the lack of power to resaw. I got a Harbor Freight flyer over the weekend with this motor on sale (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?function=Search) The web price shows $84.99, the flyer price is $64.99. Would this be a good choice? The RPMs is 3450, would I have to change out pulleys?
here is the information, the link does not always work
