I have an Atlas 3000 series 12″ lathe with no motor and want to fit a variable speed drive, what hp motor would be suitable for this machine ?

I can see too small would cause issues but if you go too big on hp what problems will it cause ?

1 Hp would do but I would be tempted to go to 1.5Hp. In modern speak .75Kw to 1.1Kw . And 4 pole or 1425RPM. Noel.
