Yes Grumpy it has 2 belts for speed, one two position on the motor and the 4 position one in the head stock gears, it is a 3 Phase motor running through the VFD, (single to 3 phase converter) they have to run in Delta configeration, not Star, this motor can be changed to run on both. yes Gadge I thought they were similar to the South Bend as many parts have suitable for both lathe brands.
