After watching the video of the Logan lathe and looking at your first post picture you can drive that lathe with a VFD. Your variable speed is accomplished with a belt drive system. With the VFD you will get full 3 phase power and you will have to start and stop it with the VFD. Just leave the lathe in forward and locate the VFD right on top of the headstock. Set the VFD to 60hz and use your variable speed like normal. Start and stop will be controlled through the VFD but it works really well and won't damage the VFD. If you want to call me tomorrow I'll be glad to send you pictures of my set up and how it works. I might even be able to send you a video of my Bridgeport vertical mill running on the VFD. I left my phone number in a former reply. With a VFD there are about 35 settings that you have to page though to set them up, that's why you cannot run multiple motors with the same VFD. They are not just a device that coverts single phase to three phase, I wish that were the case.
