What are you referring to?
He probably means the Rikon. I have a 1.5hp Leeson in my Australian Woodfast, and it's adequate for everything I turn. The Rikon is a little bigger swing, though. A 2hp might be a little more convenient at times, but I think it will do everything comfortably, depending on who's using it. One thing that seems to be a constant with woodturners......the more experienced turners don't require as much horsepower as the less experienced. I think that's mostly attributable to sharpening skills......
