Hello everybody, another newbie here!!!!
I am just in the process of returning to the lathe after a few years away. I have managed to buy a nice old Coronet (48" centres) for a decent price but the lathe is fitted with a new 3 phase Brook Hansen 1hp motor along with a 'Commander SE' box with variable speed control.
I only have access to single phase and my question is - Can I use any of the above mentioned bits or do I have to just buy a new motor? My budget is limited (she who see's all) so I would appreciate any help.
Thank you
Chris
