I have a delta contractor grade table saw and needing to replace it. It has a 1.5 hp motor 3450 rpm and looking to replace it with a air compressor motor of either 1.5 or 2 hp with either less rpm or more whichever I can find. Will it work by doing it
this way?

Before you replace it check to insure the insides are clean. On
capacitor start motors, there are breakers that can get dirt and the saw
will not start. Open that up and blowing it out may correct your problem.

This is from experience. My table saw would not start, I check and
found a person who would check it out free, and recommend replacing or
fixing. He took it a part as I waited, showed me the problem for future referenced, and blew it out. The problem was a small wood chip in the
breaker switch.

I believe on larger motors like those on table saws and larger it is
common to have capacitor starts

It's unusual to 'need' to replace a motor; usually, in woodworking, the only problem is sawdust
getting into the starter switch (disassemble and clean, worst case, or sometimes just poke through
the vents with a bamboo skewer to dislodge the dirt).

You are unlikely to want a 2 hp motor with the table saw, unless you are doing furniture manufacture
with lots of dadoes... a sharp blade cuts wood rather efficiently.

Maybe try this solution.

Hey, if it works, it was a good idea, and if it doesn’t work, it was still
a good idea! 😜
