    Lathe Motor Plate

    Randy,
    Good point and explains the speed differences. The original owner replaced the original motor with a 60HZ electric motor. See the photo of the motor plate. I suspect the original motor was 50HZ with a different max rotor RPM and this explains the speed discrepancies despite using the same pulley configurations.
