PSI Woodworking TCLVSKIT2 Variable Speed Lathe Conversion Kit

I didn't read the directions and I had it installed in under 30 minutes. I also installed a digital tachometer, and on the lowest pulley speed, I am getting a range of 480-1900RPM. I can't see needing to change the belt for speed adjustments at all.

I replaced standard motor on my excelsior latheWith this variable speed motor. Installation was seamless. So far is working great.

I put this on a jet 1014 wood lathe. It had instructions for drilling mounting holes, which were fairly good, but the shaft length is a little short to get pulleys aligned perfectly. I had to adjust the spindle pulley location which rendered the spindle locking pin useless. You can make and put in a longer pin, but it never alluded to this in the instructions.The motor itself is.adequate for how we use the lathe... all in all, it's low speed torque could be better (the speed control board electronics are very basic and could be improved quite a bit to increase low end torque)

Had to deviate from the instructions a bit. Original Delta motor pully was too small for the new motor shaft so had to use the supplied pully instead. Also added a double pole switch to allow for reverse operation. Works great.

It was easy to install and work great
