The SawStop CTS employs a direct drive 15-amp universal motor with a no-load speed of 4,000 RPM. SawStop has chosen not to list the horsepower (HP) rating for the saw, claiming that HP levels can be confusing and misleading. There's good reason for this. While there is a standard definition to go by (one HP is equal to 745.7 watts or the amount of power used to raise 550 pounds 1 foot in 1 second), the way output is calculated by manufacturers isn't consistent. And, of course, the quality of the components used in the manufacturing of the motor will affect its efficiency and performance.
