I would say the minimum should be 1/2 to do a decent job, see what jaydee has on his and I woudl say thats about the bare minimum. maybe do it on a 1/5hp motor(maxnc that fixxittt has works)

But to cut them with decent speed I would say at least 1/2hp. Your not just looking for the horse power, you need the machine to be ridgid enough so it doesnt bend or break.
