I think I based my view on a 3/4hp because of the later "Commercial" variants used a 3/4hp. ? ?

If 1/2hp would be fine, I will go with 1/2hp. ?

I have an Atlas QC42 that is ready for a motor.

I have this switch:

I want to use a 3/4HP motor. ? I need to obtain one.

I am unsure if I am to use the switch (noted above) do I still use the on/off toggle switch in the headstock?

Since I need to obtain a motor anyway, what Motor would be best to use with that switch?
