I want to get this lathe fired up to see how it cuts etc before I spend too much on the electrics. So... I wired a rectifier up and put 220 or so to the brushes another rectifier with a rheostat 115 to the fields.
Seems to run ok, no load, but appears to be going about 1/2 speed ie 350 rpm to 1250. Now I don't expect this to be anything close to what it should be but was wondering why only 1/2 speed and am I going to cook something in the motor.
Thanks
