    Well if I wasn't going to waste anything Id probably pop the motor off of my wen lathe and use that instead of spending extra money on another lathe.

    Larry a Reeves has two sets of split pullies. It does not work with fixed pullies. If you change to fixed then will only have one speed

    :huh:..I'm used to the "OLD"  Delta Reeves Drive where they used a fixed, and variable pitch pulley. :BangingHead:

     

    Haven't seen any of those newfangled double variable pitch pulley setups. Things were simpler when my machines were made 60-90 years ago. :OldManSmiley:

    You can buy a inverter duty motor and VFD for around $240.
