The only problem changing the motor out entails is finding a motor with the right frame mounting..oh and finding a reversible motor.. Lathe motors are kinda different I think.. But Grainger may have them what i need....

Skeet,
The reversible single phase are all over $300 at Granger. I bought a converter for my knee mill. I will buy a new lathe and get a single for it unless I get a 3 phase deal then I will put a converter on it also. One thing about the net, you should be able to find instructions pretty easily if you need help with the hookup. Ed

Phase converter
Thanks for the info Ed..
Did you put a solid state converter or a rotary? If I go with a solid state should I go one step higher on the converter..meaning instead of a 1/3 to 3/4 horse should I go with 3/4 to one horse converter?? I really don't understand that stuff.
