Yes, the SawStop Professional Cabinet Saw (PCS) is designed to be field-upgraded from 1.75HP to 3HP. You can purchase the replacement SawStop 3HP Motor directly.
Keep in mind several specific details regarding the upgrade:
- Electrical Requirements: The 1.75HP motor typically runs on 120V, while the 3HP upgrade requires a dedicated 230V, single-phase circuit. Upgrading the motor also requires you to upgrade your workshop's power supply.
- Switch/Contactor and Belts: Along with the heavier motor, you will need to replace the motor contactor/switch assembly and potentially the drive belts to accommodate the increased power and amperage (13 Amps for the 3HP model).
