Hi - given the 'difficulties' sourcing Performance Pro spares - what is the likelyhood that PPro saw motors of the same power-rating are interchangeable?

For example would a 1200w mitre saw motor fit a 1200w sliding mitre saw. The 'armature' on my sliding saw is duff and I was aiming to 'cannibalise' the cheaper saw?
