you havent stated what type of lather these are, check the power requirements, most metal working lathes are 3 phase... not you average lathe...and As Scott has said, all are variable speed...

another problem associated with using metal working lathes for woodworking is dust and debris sticking to the ways and compacting the gibbs, as most are oil fed... check it over close before getting too involved in setting it up...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
