Thanks Bob, I didn’t know about such things. It must be really useful having such a fine control.

My lathe had a half horse capacitor start motor which was fine and I used to crudely slip the countershaft belt when I wanted an easily controllable speed for coil winding. It worked well but I hadn’t heard of a variable speed drive then.

Its amazing what you can do with limited resources.
