Hi John really nice neat job. I am in the process of converting my DB7 lathe to VFD? got the 3 phase 4 pole motor and inverter and waiting on some parts. There is no back gear on these lathes just a series of reduction pulleys with the associated DC motor 0.6 HP with poor torque on low speeds
Regards Les

This week Finished the new Mk 2 gear reduction unit. Frame CNC milled, gears CNC cut. Bench tested, surprisingly not noisy.? Mk1 Gear Reduction gears are nylon, they have never been a problem, but the 125 mm dia mm now being my predominant chuck? of choice,?the phosphor bronze gears will be stronger on spindle start ups.
