    I added a quick release chuck to the shaft to use Mill Rose fitting brushes and pipe cleaners. I need to modify the guard a tad so it still drops as the blade is lifted. I may shorten the adapter a bit also. The allen key does reach thrugh the deep socket I welded to the blade bolt, to change the blades.

    RPMs are about right also and the "dead man" switch is a nice safety feature.

    Is there any difference between this and ......

    my Ridgid Dry Cut saw? I was just wondering if the RPM's, amps, etc. are higher? Wondering if I should make the change.

    Just answered my own question......

    FYI .... The Dewalt is 15 Amp 5.3 Horsepower. My Ridgid is 15 Amp and only 2 Horsepower. Now I have to replace it !

    horsepower is a funny thing, electrically speaking

    Tool manufactures design most tool to operate on 15 amp circuits. With this in mind it is mathematicaly impossible to run a 120 V 5 hp motor on 15 amps continously, under load. Somewhere around 2-1/2 hp (1865 watts)is max.

    Most circuit breakers and fuses have a surge rating and capability. Tool manufactures play the surge game to come up with those high HP ratings. They count on the breaker being able to handle more than a 15 amp load for a short period of time.

    Ever hear a circuit breaker buzz when a table saw is turned on or loaded heavily. Enjoy the buzz while it lasts :)
