Very nice, but I don't see any chips on the lathe or on the floor...

I could not upload the video, but yes, she makes some nice blue chips!

She runs very quiet. Once I figure out how to upload a video, I will post a couple.

This one has a top speed of 487 RPM. The motor is a 7-1/2 3ph at 1155 RPM. To bump it up, I have to change the motor and pulley. Considering it but I lean more towards to keeping this as original as I can.
