I have the 1.5 hp version, and I have turned bowls up to the capacity of the lathe (15.5" x 3.5"). Others may cut more aggressively than I do, so when I say this has enough torque to turn large it is for my style of turning.
At the other end of the spectrum, I have had the lathe snap a scraper handle in half when the burr on the scraper caught. This stalled the lathe and tripped the overload safety.
I don't feel that I need any more power than I have in my lathe.

I have the Jet 1642 EVS 1 1/2hp, love it, and am ALWAYS on that speed control, especially when sanding and finishing.
Reverse is also sweet.
