Gday Folks,
After much help from Sam-Q, NeilS, Paul39, Uncle Al, Old Croc, pjt, BobL, Mobyturns, and hughie, the Omega Lathe I've been restoring in these two threads, http://ift.tt/1oDy3JD and http://ift.tt/1oDy3JI is now finally finished.
Guys, you all have a generosity that is limitless, patience in abundance, and a willingness to help that is inspiring. Without your help over these last few months I would still have a boat anchor in the garage instead of a lathe that is everything I'd imagined it would be and for that I can't thank you enough.
Since last posting I still wasnt happy with the rev range so I sourced a step pulley from AA Bearings in Nunawading that gives me a 4 gear range of,
at 10hz the speeds are 58, 132, 245, 424 and
at 70hz the speeds are 408, 921, 1718, 2970
So realisticly I have the range that I was after and for one I dont think the lathe will spend much time at 10hz and two while the range is certainly there to do all sorts of turning I think for now I'll probably have it most of the time on the third gear, time will tell.

The lathe is painting in Hammerite Black Gloss, it was going to be white but IMHO this turned out much better.
Anyways, thanks again to all of you for all your help, its very much appreciated,
Ross.
