The other part is a mini lathe has very little speed control?
Some have 2 speed and others have 4 speed . The rest of speed control is done with the motor control.??
I am using 1 hp and 1000 rpm just simple.?
The belt on 1000 rpm and 1 hp if turn control to 500 rpm ? hp. At 250 rpm ? hp. At 125 rpm ?hp. The motor stay at same torque?
Hope helps to see why the use a large motor?
