There is a potential 12VDC in my box, will need to make a speed controller for it.  Alternatively  just use a normal mains motor with a step pully as the lathe was designed for.  3 phase motors with inverter speed controllers start to look expensive.

Britannia lathe renovation

27/5/2013 Removed tool board from back board. it's stored under/behind the lathe cabinet. Cut bit of wood for the motor to sit on. it's sitting in place for now with a sign not to remove. Will fasten it in place permanently when final motor decision is made.

There is a potential 12VDC in my box, will need to make a speed controller for it. Alternatively just use a normal mains motor with a step pully as the lathe was designed for. 3 phase motors with inverter speed controllers start to look expensive.
