Hi Larry,
I for one prefer a variable speed setup,ala a countershaft.If you
look in the photos section, you can see one in dkirk_4, and in
jmbonner. Jim Bonner's is a better picture cuz you can see the step
pulley that gives you the variable speeds.For some reason, when I took
the pictures the step pulley wasn't on the countershaft.
I had a two step pulley on the motor as well, but Dennis recomended
not going above 600 rpm's ( I'm pretty sure that's what it was ) so I
took it off, lest I be tempted. But I have a lot 4 which the Good
Doctor refers to as a "toy lathe", you may be able to go a little
faster than that.
Dave
