Speed comes from the number of windings and the clock at the electric
company, regardless of the nameplate.

Dumb question, but are the pulley cones installed properly? Other than
that, check to see if you can get a cone with larger diameters for the
front.

It is a cheapy Chinese mini DP, $40 at the Homier traveling tool show.
Something like
4 1/2" center-to-column and with a 4 speed set of pulleys on top. Very
standard and low-
end, can't lock the quill in place. The motor is 1700 rpm (not 1725).
Works well but the
lowest speed has this tacky chafing sound first time I ran it, so, must be
some runout.
