What model and size is that lathe?

The lathe is a PM1340GT (13"x40" size) that I purchased from Matt @ Quality Machine Tools.
Can I ask why you want to stay with a 110-VAC lathe? I think you are really limiting your options by staying with a 110 volt machine as well as limiting the HP. Personally, in a lathe I highly recommend getting a 3-phase unit because with the 120-degree overlap of the phases it creates a very smooth running machine and no frequency pulsations which is extremely beneficial for low speed threading.
Just a thought/recommendation.
Mike.
