A bigger framed motorcould be used by mounting it perhaps in the cupboard beneath the lathe.

My 5" grinder has a 340W, 2800rpm motor, but a 2 pole motor has a low starting torque, its a nice little motor though. Even the 600W motor on my 6" grinder is not great on its startup power. For torque with an induction motor, you really want capacitor start, and capacitor run. Most of the very small machines seem to use a brush type motor. Ian S C
