Good afternoon! First, I am not much of an electronics "guru." I have done some "more than mild, but not yet wild" electricial wiring, but am a musician by training.
Anywho, I have my grandfather's circa 1940 Beaver wood lathe. It's heavy and well-built with an induction motor. It has 3 pulleys and that is it for speed control.
My questions are these......is it possible to buy a speed control unit? What are they called and what can I expect to spend for a 1HP unit? As it is now, I have but 3 speeds....all of them far too fast for roughing out bowls.
Thanks,
Russell
