Have been thinking of fitting a variable speed control to my Record lathe. I have looked in to the Speed Genie and the Record conversions a bit too pricey for me also they show you have to change the motor ( I wonder why ?) as mine is not very old as it was changed just before I brought when it was made into a four speed. Has any one tried the REVLO-electric-motor-speed-controller, are they worth trying not being an electrician I do not know if it would do any damage to lathe? If you use one what gear do I leave it in or does that not matter?
Many thanks Tom
