Hello woodturners,
I'm new to this hobby and looking to buy my first lathe.
I have an opportunity now to buy and bring a lathe from the US - the prices there are amazing, and transporting it will be free.
The model i'm interested in is the Delta 46-460, it's a strong (1HP) Midi lathe with generous swing over the bed (12.5"), costs $650.
The problem is of course - the Current, the lath is originally wired for the US electricity network - 11V/60Hz
Does anyone know if there's a way to operate such a device with European 220V/50HZ?
I know that a step-down converter is needed, but what a about the current frequency?
thanks!
