    I'm thinking of replacing the single phase 550 W motor on my lathe.

    Thanks for the comments and suggestions, I'll get another motor to be able to finish off the repairs of the super spreader, then look for a more permanent fix to this POS. Might look for a treadmill motor and electronics. Nothing can't be fixed, it's just how deep a pocket you've got.
