At last I have my lathe working (Simat 101 / Flexispeed) Abeit with a motor I have temporarily borrowed off a spare Chinese drill press.

The motor that came with it is huge, a 1/2 hp 1425rpm it would drive a much bigger lathe.

The one I am using is 1/4 hp still too big I think but the same rpm . It does the job very well though.

What I really want is a 1/6 hp same rpm.

The big motor is for sale or swap. It's made by a Scottish company Lemac, and in very good working order, with resilient foot mounting. Shaft size is 16mm

Anyone interested let me know.
