Pete's right. Motors are rated at shaft HP and not electrical power input power. RI motors also have greater starting torque than capacitor start motors but that advantage is somewhat wasted in a table saw because the saw starts up unloaded.
I think many RI motors use brushes and that's a maintenance issue. If someone is familiar with RI motors would you tell me if they do use brushes. I'm certainly not an RI motor expert.
