Or just do a search on here. But will say that sometimes going to Google and typing in same info can get you back to GJ quicker then internal search. But to answer question a 1/3 to 1/2 HP is reasonable

got this a few weeks ago. Also got 2 old motors that were also in their garage , pretty certain one has the other pulley on it for this but don't think it is an original motor. I know nothing about this sander, so I'm listening to anything anyone has to say. Seems to turn real smooth. serial...

Or cheat and Google the site this way

Site:garagejournal.com "103.08011"

Only three results, one with the number in the title.

But, almost every tool search will lead back to GJ at some point.
