What is the horsepower of this saw? Thanks.

It's 2 hp and let me tell you how good it is. I found out about this saw from a older friend who is an electrician. He said it worked very good especially lighter weight and not having to deal with mix fuels/oils and such. So I bought one. I have been cutting huge 18-20" timber and it just keeps up as well as my Poulan or my Sthil. Just make sure your chain is tight and you keep the chain oiler filled.

Power=current x voltage 14amps x 115 volts= 1610 watts ( 1 horsepower = 746 watts) 1610 watts / 746 = 2.15 horsepower

It's rated at 14 amps, so 14A x 120V = 1,680 Watts and at 0.00134 horsepower/Watt it should be about 2.25 horsepower. However, electric motors are typically around 80% efficient, so best guess would be about 1.8 horsepower.

Have no idea. But it's pretty powerful. Cut down and cut up a 40' dead Colorado pine 2 days ago without any problems. I now have 8 2' stump seats for around the firepit and a healthy stack of burner logs. The trunk had a 20" diameter, and the saw chewed thru it like a fat kid in a candy store.

I could not tell you. I returned mine. It made a noise I didn't like out the box. I'd guess about 15 -20 cuts on 2x6 lumber. My sawzall I have works great & drill, impact, flash light too. I have the angle grinder & it runs the batteries down pretty quick. It does work great as well, but requires more charging. I'd think the saw here would be the same. Takes a lot of torque.

It is 110 and is strictly a hobby saw. I looked at one complaint where the owner thought it should be able to cut Oak and other hardwoods. Small soft stock is what I use it for.

It is 14.3 lbs. Having used it extensively, including a few cuts at and above head level I would recommend a different saw if you need to cut extensively above head level as I find this one a bit unwieldy at those levels (and also somewhat dangerous because you really need 2 hands to control it so you may have trouble balancing)

Looked through my book and couldn't find the info you wanted. I can say this , it has worked perfectly for me the motor is a soft start which is nice, I have a 8 inch router that is no problem for the saw. It also has a very well designed safety system. I know some would discard this first thing. The one thing to remember is this is a light weight contractor saw.

I have no idea. My saw operates i electricity,thru house current. I do love the saw,

Researching that idea it appears there is a 220 saw made by Makita, the 'Maktec by Makita MT580'. It doesn't show up on Amazon, so where you buy it is beyond me.

I also looked in my book and couldn't find the info either. I didn't see the information on the saw either. This is a light weight saw. I have used mine quite a bit over the years I've had it. I works great. I did find a phone number you might want to try. 1-877-bosch99. Maybe they have the info you want.

The saw is very light, but it cuts like a larger saw. Just used it today again. The battery is very strong. Would recommend to anyone.

Yes, I would say horsepower matters, but this is related to the amperage. I use this speed control on a router that is also 15 amps and it works great. I'm not sure why you would want to change the speed of a power miter saw, but this unit should work fine.

15 amps is 1650 watts rms (root mean square). At the peak of the alternating current's sine wave (ac cycles 50 or 60 times a second in a wave pattern) the saw is drawing 3,300 watts or around 4hp. This is a kind of deceptive description of the saw's power but I've seen other manufacturers (Poulan) do the same thing. It is still plenty powerful to cut down a 16 inch diameter oak tree with no problem and you do need a hefty power cord.

Using the amp rating of the Chop saw of 15 amps, and voltage of 120 volts computes to 1800 watts. The true continuous HP would be about 65% or 1170 watts and the conversion from watts to HP is 746 Watts. The continuous HP is 1.568 at 120 volts, your line voltage may be less. The color black is a guess by me. But when you saw/grind steel, the grindings are black, and the saw is covered with these grindings. The black grindings look like a heavy black dust covering the chop saw.

There is no simple answer; The amperage it draws depends on how hard it is working. If you were to load the saw up to the point of stalling, a 3 1/2 HP motor will pull close to 25 amps depending on its efficiency. If you don't push it to its limit it will pull a lot less. I use mine on a line with a 20 amp breaker and haven't tripped it yet while cutting tree limbs up to 4-inches in diameter.

The saw is capable and has plenty of power, depending on you putting the correct blade on it, it will do fine, assuming that you are not cutting 1" hard steal.

Approximately 10 pounds. Move the handle foreword about 6-8 inches from recommended set point. This balances the machine and it will handle very much like a conventional chain saw. Otherwise you will quickly become tired.

3/8 in. and .050 this saw has plenty of power and is well balanced. i also own another husky a 61 that i have used a lot for 27 years with no problems ever. hope this helps.

It's a powerful saw that works hard, but I don't have any experience to compare it with. It's only my second saw and I use it infrequently. Sorry.
