Naomi - you need to say what rpm you want - 1450 ish or 2900 ish (4 pole or 2 pole motor respectively) - my guess is it will be a 4 pole - I would advise you to get a good brand name second hand British one off e bay rather than a modern one from the far east. The British ones will be well made and stand a bit of abuse. If your lathe doesn't have a clutch you will be stopping, starting and reversing the motor quite frequently which single phase motors are less tolerant of than 3 phase motors, so you need something that will cope with a bit more than steady running.
