scott312 - 12/5/2025 19:44 I don't know but this is what grok says: Bottom-Line TranslationYou get roughly 20–25 % more torque at the teeth because the force from the motor acts on a shorter lever arm (radius). lose almost the exact same percentage because the teeth move at the same surface speed, so the motor has to spin ~20–25 % faster to maintain proper chip load and SFM for the wood. Net result: The available cutting power (horsepower) you can actually push into the wood stays essentially the same.
