Some of basic improvements are simple for most to do .
The top is a good tool post.
Some are not is motor choice.? They use is low cost motor. Most
run at 4,000 to 6,000 rpm using a center pulley. Great torque to
spindle.? But correct motor is very costly $1,200.00 and just use
one belt.
So I just use the motor that comes with lathe and deal with by
getting a wider belt.?
FYI The reson for high horse power is good torque at lower
speeds.? Rule thumb?
Top seed is 1,000 rpm at 1 hp. At 500 rpm the power is ?hp. At 250
rpm then ?hp.?
I like the DC drive over the old ways of moving belt.?
I seen videos on change the head stock bearings. A seal 6206 ball
bearing should last around 50,000 hour of use. There is some other
problem?
