how much Horsepower is the motor

Its a 500 watt heavy duty motor and it grinds 6 lbs per minute. It will too the thing is amazing! And very easy to clean. I have used even the sausage stuffer and it works like a charm.

This is a 1/4 hp motor it does not have an amp rating on minehttp://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/electrical-motor-hp-amps-d_1455.htmlIt should be about 2-3 amps

Thank you for contacting CPO! This item has 1 3/4 HP. It is a 115 / 230V item. The amperage on the motor is 15 / 7 Amp. If we can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.Sincerely,CPO Customer Care 800-714-0918 www.CPOoutlets.com

I'm assuming you mean power output. The manual lists the engine output at 0.6 kW at 7800 rpm which converts to .082 HP. Hope that helps

3 hp or even smaller. For sure no more than 5 hp. An electric trolling motor would work too.

It has .9 HP. I believe it is a little less than 700 Watts. Please see this review:http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/tests/4332328

Not sure how they calculate the HP, this might be a question for Makita. I get 2.41HP when calculating based on 120V and 15A. (Php=(eff*UI/1000)/0.746). It could be 3.25HP if the motor was 135% efficient!

Hi Brian! If my calculations are correct... I am calculating about 1/10 HP. This was derived from the following: The manufacturer states on their website that the output of the motor at 50 RPM is 8.5 lb-ft of torque. The equation for rotational torque-horsepower relationship is HP= torque (in lb-ft) times Speed (in RPM) all divided by 5252. HP=(torque x rpm)/5252= .081 HP. I am pretty much certain this is correct. If not, please all chime in and let me know! Thanks!

Dwight,There is no horsepower rating on the motor itself, however, based on other "true" rated motors I have in my shop, I would say its a 3/4 hp. As for the wheels, I haven't had to replace them yet but I can tell you that the shaft size is huge so you really have to watch where you get them from. I bought a Dewalt wire wheel thinking it was going to fit ( 5/8" shaft) and it wasn't even close. I believe Ebay has the grinding wheels but just make sure the mounting hole diameter is the same. By the way this is the best grinder I have ever owned.Hope this helps Dwight,There is no horsepower rating on the motor itself, however, based on other "true" rated motors I have in my shop, I would say its a 3/4 hp.

It is a 360 Watt Motor for the Classic Model and 250 Watts for the Junior model. I have the Classic Model.

It is 1.5 HP. 1-0.5 is just another way of expressing the same number, just as is 1-1/2.

Label on the motor says 1 HP. Don't know the amperage and sorry, but I couldn't look it up.

None of the other answers are correct. It's 900 Newtons DC, which is equivalent to about 0.8 (a touch better than 3/4 hp) AC motors you're comparing to.

it say's it is a 2.6 HP. on it,I know it has plenty of power,it has never stopped on me or kicked circuit out,even with deer with alot of what I call ( cat gut) in it.I hope this helps

Not sure that the motor is measured in horsepower. I will tell you that it is the most powerful shop-vac that I have ever owned. I have a 50 foot hose on it and I think I can add another 30 and it would still pick up very well. I will be buying another one when I finish my basement shop. It is one of the best tool purchases I've ever made. I wouldn't waste too much time thinking about it. I hope this helps.

There is no HP on it. It is a 115V 1.1amp sealed in oil motor. It's rated to pumps 170 gallons an hour off my pool cover. Then I unplug it when it all pumped off. Then plug it in when it rains again.

This is a high speed machine. The company site gives the following specs: 120 volts, 1/2 Hp, 60 HZ, 3400 Rpm
