I have a question for the group.I have a 12" Craftsman mono tube lathe(i know i know not the best.)Its what i could afford at the time .And it works well so far.My question is when the motor goes out can i put in a
3/4 HP 1725 RPM in its place or should i stick with the 1/2 HP that came on it .And will it be feasible to make it a variable speed lathe to give me better control of the rpm ?- posted
