I have an old craftsman lathe with a missmatched motor. The motor seems to be turning too fast,I looked up the rpm's for the lathe and they were between 200 and 400. The motor is spinning at 11oo rpm,s. I tried it on all the pullys,but this didnt help. I have been resding some of the letters here, and see that others are uesing motors that spin over
1000rpm's with no proublems. Doe's anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?- posted
