Just been out to the workshop. To turn the lead screw takes very little effort even though it is going through the gear box.
Now I have this 24v motor that I am intending to use for a powered bead roller I'm building but maybe I should use it on the lathe.
The plate on the motor is not easy to read but looks to be an output speed of 6.8 RPM. I guess I don't know the duty rating of this motor or how much load will be on it turning the lead screw while I am cutting material. But maybe I should mock it up and see how it performs.
