The Taig spindle motor is rated at 1/4 HP continuous duty. The means if will actually produce 1/4 HP all day long and much more than 1/4 HP for shorter periods of time. If your belt is slipping then I would suspect that you don't have your pulleys aligned quite right or your overloading the machine (the belt will slip before the motor bogs down.)
