It never fails to amaze me how differently things work for different people.
I have a 1HP farm duty that I bought at Tractor Supply. I have it set up with pulleys to power my MT II.
I have tried to bog it down but can't. The belt will spin on both the drive wheel and the serrated rubber contact-wheel before the motor will give in the slightest! That's not to say that this slippage is easy to achieve either! I have to lean into it with considerable force (enough to push a light car on level ground).
I'm sure your motor is fine. I just like to marvel at the diverse experiences of newbies like me.
How much steel are you trying to hog? I use my band saw for as much as I can to save my belts.
Enjoy!!
