Hey Tom….WELL DONE, how do you like the motor, I have been thinking of one for my lathe, where did you get it and how much? I would want to plug into a variable speed control. Thank you, William

William:

I got mine from the same place that David got his (chinese motor on ebay). It been excellent and it costs about $200.00. However, this one won’t work very well with a variable speed control. I just adjust the pully combinations to get the turning rate that I need.

Here’s the link:
