Hi
A while back, I bought a viceroy educator. This was discussed at length with Random orbital Bob. I chose the viceroy over a RECORD CL4 ( actually instead of buying Random orbital Bobs CL4).(sorry again Rob)
I have used the lathe quite a bit, and now understand why various people steered me towards an old heavy weight lathe opposed to a modern lathe.
However
I also now understand why Rob was do insistent about variable speed.
I do not want a new lathe.
But I would like variable speed.
I have had various quotes, ranging from mega stupid expensive, down to next to nothing, which will be a waste of time.
I have read that a few people have used Mitsubishi inverters to create a variable speed, on a single phase lathe.
Is there anyone who could actually help me do this on my viceroy, which is at the moment single phase. I have no three phase here.
To repeat, I don't want a new lathe!! Happy to alter mine.
Cheers
Richard
