So there's the crux of the biscuit. Both my motors say nothing about fans but one says its 100% duty cycle is lower than its max hp rating and lists its rpm at 2500. The other is different. This all reminds me of what we had to go through trying to interpret stereo amplifier specs back in the day. One outfit would use peak and others would use rms. The peak was meant to catch those that were not looking close or didn't know what peak vs rms meant.

So it would seem these mill motors derive their hp from high rpm, which in the case of Jere's bandsaw might end up no bueno. The drive gear looks pretty big and there's no messing around ratios with that like you can with a belt. And the motor has to spin higher than original motor to get its hp. Good thing there's a speed control
