I'm replacing the Reeves drive on my Delta lathe. The movable pulley half ( looks like it's made from pot metal) is broken.
Can I run the existing 3/4 HP motor with a vfd? I would like to use the vfd to vary the speed. I also need a pulley to go on lathe spindle shaft. The outside diameter of the shaft is .940".
Has anyone bought a pulley for this sized shaft? What size pulley ( diameter) should I get to use with the vfd?
If anyone has made this conversion, your help will be appreciated.
