Is 1/2 hp powerful enough or would you rather have the 1hp?

It depends on what size blades and how often you will be using it. I personally prefer the bigger one because it is sturdy and does not bog down when I am a bit impatient

I dont see where the extra power would offset the cost. The 1/2 hp works well doesnt take off more metal than necessary, you just take your time. If I had to do this all day then cutting thru the blade faster would be nice.

I have the 1/2 hp version and it is plenty good for the blades on a regular Honda mower. You just have to draw the blade by the wheel and it sharpens in a few strokes. After you do both ends you have to check the balance, or course.

For the number of times I use the sharpener (twice per month during mowing season), the 1/2 hp is fine. I would consider the 1hp if I sharpened multiple sets of blades per week. Not really necessary for occasional use in my opinion. Hope this helps.

I have a commercial lawncare business and use the 1/2 hp. It's plenty powerful enough. It doesn't bog down like a bench grinder.

The 1/2 is very sufficient for grinding blades. I am very satisfied with it.

a 1 hp compresser for small spot jobs. for bigger jobs, a1 1/2 to 2 hp compresser with a 20 gallon tank. if you can afford the bigger compresser, its a good investment. car tires,cleaning filters,ect. hope this helps you. I'd be lost without my air compresser.

Since the pump current is only switched by this, 1/2 HP is fine. It works great. Get the Zoeller 10‑0763 Aquanot Flood Alert (about $20 online) and some lithium batteries, to go with the replacement setup - especially if you have a finished basement, it's cheap insurance.

The difference is in the batteries - the 02 has "SlimPack", the 01 has "FatPack" and an extra 0.5 lb of operating weight. I don't have any thing on the run time differences between the two, but as a home user, I'd choose the 02 because any difference in run time is less likely to make a difference and the weight might. The website http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Tools/ will give you the exact specs on the two.

As a general rule, one horsepower draws 750 watts. Using that as a basis, the 420 watts divided by 750 gives you about .6 hp

I used it to replace a 13HP engine that was ancient and running a large hydraulic log splitter. I was aware I did not need that amount and this engine has performed better than the old worn engine and starts easy every time. HP is variable depending on where you look but I would recommend this for 8-10 HP replacement use.

I have had both and I think you would be happy with either. My personal preference is the Busnell Legend at 10 power.

The information enclosed in the box said it can operorate a 1 hp motor. I used it on a hot water heater and it works great.

It is a 2 speed pump. I'm guessing the top speed is (which is high) would be 2 hp and the low speed would be 1hp or less.

I would say yes but make sure the electrical cord doesn't go in the water beyond it's length, also keep a watch on it because it is 1/2 horsepower.

The motor is 1/2 HP as stated on its label. The label also states 0.4 KW which is about 1/2 HP as well.

I am not sure,I did buy it to use with my 1/2 HP,but I checked the amps on my pump first. I havent tried it yet

Yes, it is Dimensional direct replacement It does not bog down as often as a 1/2 HP. Fully satisfied

It is 1/2 horsepower and a very good machine. I love it and use it often. I grate a lot of cheese so use it for that and I put it in jars for later. I like kitchenaid. I have the mixer and blender also.

Horsepower can be converted into watts by remembering 1 HP = 746.70 watts. Doing the math, 3250/746.7 = 4.35 HP. But remember, there is inrush current on a motor, the normal extra current it takes to get a motor started. I'd say the best you can probably truly expect this generator to handle is maybe a 3 HP motor. Hope that helps. Ron

I recently ordered and received the 2 HP motor. The 2 HP looks very similar to the 2/4 HP. As long as the specs are for the motor you want, I don't see a problem. The motor was received on schedule and in new condition. I was completely satisfied with their service. They also included a new pump shaft seal that is needed for the installation. Hope this helps.

It depends on your application. For a normal "get rid of rain or washtub water" residential application, a third to half a horsepower is generally plenty. A half horsepower unit will generally handle more water if you have a very leaky basement. (You should check the flow capacity (Gallons per minute) and compare). Counter-intuitively, I've been told buying too much pump, like 3/4 or 1 HP for this type of application is a bad idea. I don't recall precisely why, but I think it could damage the pump. Plus the bigger pumps get more expensive. I'd recommend you either read several plumbing sites, or consult with a plumer and/or local plumbing supply company (or two) that you trust. They may well need to understand your precise application to give good answer. Also, if you're moving out sewage, sludge, etc. instead of just water, there are different kinds of pumps and again -- seeking advice from an expert is a good idea.
