How easy would it be to mod a coronet 2 to variable speed drive? Of the options I can think of, off the top of my head are: 1) adjustable pulley 2) dc motor and variable resistor 3) 3phase motor & vfd.

Opinions, ideas...
 
haycock will [almost certainly] do a converter and it is probably not too difficult to fit, but I would expect it to cost a lot. I enquired about one for my jet, consisted of a motor and controller and was £600-700 from memory. I didn't pursue because it wasnt worth it to me.

it may be as cheap to buy a secondhand vs lathe.
