2 HP upgrade (220 volt)
$ 220.00
If you’re just working over the bed and plan to keep your work to less than 16” diameter, you’ll probably be OK with the 1.5HP. Also, if you only have access to the 110 volt electricity, you’ll be restricted to the 1.5HP. But if you have access to 220 and if you plan on taking the gap out and turning larger work, get the 2HP. It is expensive to make this change later on, as both the motor and the drive need to be swapped out.
