    I was feeling grouchy one day, reckoned my mill was overpowered at 2hp, noisy, had a poor selection of speeds and was not very quick... so I bought a pukka 1hp motor with a matching digital phase converter and computer cable.

    Slow to twice normal speed with no loss of power, soft starting, reverse, da woiks.

    It's been lying around ever since, but I will do it one day... honest I will
