How to upgrade my Rockwell/Delta to a variable speed drive?
I have a 12" older model Rockwell/Delta wood lathe. I'm fed-up with moving the belt on the step pulleys to change speed. Even at the lowest speed it is still too fast for drilling with a large bit and for a large out of balance bowl blank. I would like to upgrade to a variable speed motor, maybe about 1 hp, at a reasonable cost. Any ideas and/or recomendations would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dale
Thanks to everyone for the variable speed drive info.
Thanks to everyone for the variable speed drive info, I had heard about the treadmill motor upgrade but now I have several options to consider.
Thanks again,
