Thanks to the person who gave me the specification sheet to the 260. The lathe was waiting at Graysonline in Melbourne and was picked up and is now home near Kingston in the South East of S.A.(model ATM no. 19490) The lathe has a 0.55kW three phase motor and I need to be able to plug it in to a normal 240 volt plug. Looking at other posts, I need a VFD and on contacting my local electrician, he found one for approx. $700. I looked on eBay and found one that is 0.75 kW, 5 amp for about $70 - who's on the right track?
