How to: Transform a Garage Sale Lathe into a $1.5K Lathe

TL:DR:
Bought an old lathe
Removed old motor
Wired to a VFD
Using lathe to make stuff out of plastic
I bought this old lathe and it made a crazy noise... I've wanted a variable speed lathe, but it cost ~ $1k for a decent new one. These old Delta Lathes are easy to find used for less than $200. 3 phase motors can also be found for less than $100 used and they're reliable, and more quiet IMHO. The VFD is the most expensive part at $195 with the reverse switch. In the end, I have a variable speed lathe for ~$500 out of used stuff with the exception of the VFD. A similar Lathe when I was searching around cost ~$1.5K.
Please give me comments and ask me questions! Thank you for reading and see the helpful links below:
