I have a VFD driven bandsaw. It uses a 1.5 HP motor, and has 18" drive wheels... It has more than enough power for things like 1/2 inch thick steel. think 2" tool steel would bog it down, but hey, I'm a hobby shop. I'll cut a little slower.
Now my motor is VFD rated, but the whole contraption is an offshore, low bid machine. It has never let me down in 8 years of use.
