Default How to setup a 3-phase 240V to 480V transformer?

That model has an electrically driven speed control and an oil pump
(which may or may not have its own motor). Those may have to be
rewired as well -- but they probably don't operate on 480 volts now
and may already be wired for 220.

Mark, you made me confused, why don't you rewire the 240/480 lathe
motor to run off 240V? That would be easiest and would not require
buying a bulky, and costly transformer, as well as eliminate
transformer losses.
