My bigger import lathe is not bad. I can dial stuff in by hand to about
3 tenths. The problem is under power the indicator needle turns into a blur about 1.5-2 thousandths wide. For 99% of what I do that is fine, but that other 1% is growing. Is the only answer to install a 3 phase motor? I'm not completely against it, but its a bit of a job to move the lathe, swap the motor, and reconfigure the controls. Not something I can do in an afternoon.- posted
