I have been reading some threads about DC and AC motors and would appreciate confirmation on my understanding of both.
DC motors offer variable speed control at a lower price though you sacrifice torque on the lower speeds. You find these more on the mini lathes
AC motors (220v) with inverters are more expensive, offer variable speed control and you have good low end torque. You find these on the larger lathes.
Are my assumptions correct?
Thanks,
Bob
