Thanks Mike, I was going to call a few places tomorrow and see what it will cost. I'm hoping that a simple reconfiguration of the wiring will allow the motor to run on 220v but I seem to get a lot of conflicting answers (no offence to anyone who has offered me advice) and I don't know enough to decifer it all. I am learning a great deal though digging into it and doing my research. My mom has been living with me for the past two years with the help of a care aide. She has advanced stage dementia and went into a care home last week. I now have the time and soon enough the money to get this lathe up and running and I want to do it right the first time to save any frustration in the future.
