Pattern Lathe

[pitstop815]

The motor is a 2 speed double wound 3 phase motor this thing is massive LOL I like the fact that i can turn very large bowls on it. The whole machine is stout I will not have to worryaabout the machine moving at all.

I also have to purchase a phase converter to run the machine which is about 800 dollars. I may be paying to much with total cost.

In a quandry about it.

I have not turned anything since high school which is 35 yrs ago but i am really looking forward to it.
