First order of business to say hello to everyone and state I finally got a lathe.. .. .. .. 🕵 ..
Maybe not a 10EE but.. A SB 9.. Its a catalogue 382-R / 4.5 ft bed / seems in good shape / bakelite paint 99% intact / metal tags as new / gears do have grease caked on.. Well post pics.. I am doing the cleaning / new felt / mobil machine oil etc etc..
I bought a new 3/4 HP 3 phase 1140 RPM and have a VFD.. QUESTION on should I use a V belt or serpentine belt??
Pulley setup will be close to 1:1 ratio - or may bump the pulley sizes to get 1200 - 1300 rpm... Or whatever the lathe max RPM should be.
REAL question is on need of some form of MASS counter shaft pulley for rotational issues..
This is my first lathe and have no real experience with all the pulley gizmos .
Thx in advance for any notes / advice / input ..
