it should be smooth and adjusted till it is. Variable speed is nice so you can slow down the RPM's for drilling and other stuff you may want to do. If you can afford the expense it would be a nice to have. I have a crappy old lathe that has one speed, wide open, and I make out just fine. If I could afford it I would get it.
