Usually saws of the olden day like old table saws. Table tools like grinders band saws from the 30s 40s 50s 60s did use motors like that also large fans in the attic of homes used motors with fan belts . Seeing the sewing machine as a size reference that motor is a very typical size of the day
they are very dependable unstoppable (with in-reason) power
