I live in the UK and have a Record DML24 wood turning lathe. I would like to
add electronic speed control to this. Does any one know if this is possible?


Possible with DC motors. I know that (at least one) AC motors can be
damaged when connected to speed controls. I have a variable speed,
plus a reseversing switch, on my DC motor--it's great.
