hello all,
Is this 1HP DC variable speed motor kit appropriate for a South Bend 9 x48?
http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/tls/5981728832.html
actually there are two parts to my question:
1) is 1HP to much for the 9" lathe
2) does 1/2 or 1HP DC variable speed provide enuf torque for serious roughing cuts at low end of the speed range (40-100 RPM)?
(I have no experience with DC motors)
Thanks
Glenn
