Hey Reeltor
I am not an electrical expert, but have some experience, and a similar setup in my Hardinge Mill. I don't know if this Cunliffe is the same as my Hardinge, but there is a big lever switch on the side of my machine that cuts the speed AND HP in half. So 3/4 HP at full speed, and 3/8 HP at half-speed.
I hope this helps

Bernie, thanks for the info; I find it interesting how they did things in the "old days". I'd guess that to do the same thing today would be just too expensive.
I wish you guys would stop buying horizontal mills, your driving the price up on all the "worthless" old tooling! :rofl::rofl:
Brian, that's a nice arbor you got, if you don't mind how much did you have to give for it?
