AC with VFD or 180V DC for lathe?

Micromaster Vector, one of the old ones with LED display rather than LCD, belts are just what my local industrial supplier can provide in the correct length.
The head is on taper rollers with 30.5mm through capacity though, the standard pulleys transmit power well enough for this -

30mm 304, 2.5mm depth of cut, the video was actually shot to show the capability of the Dickson clone QCTP

Thanks for the info Nick My Myford S7 is only 3/4" bore but it is CNC'd and can cut threads nicely.
