Peter,
Changing the motor (pulley) speed will not change to metric. You will need to change the head gears for metric threads
I do not think you will be needing a two step pulley on the motor. My South Bend has more speed variations than needed. Mostly I just run it slow. My speed.
Get it running and have fun.

Life is good again:
After session 2 of a root canal I went to my shop and tried the lathe; by gorry she works as advertised! Was finally able to get her speed up to where I could polish (should be two ells in that word if there ain't) something in her ifn I wanted to. The one hoss motah is a good addition, I must admit; gave her the Gonads she was-a-lackin. So, next I am gonna take the saddle off the ways and clean that up. I have a new set of wipers and some good ways oil to use. I have been Ebaying for two weeks and have everything but a new Tool Post: where was the big sale on them? and have found some high sylphur lard oil; I'm all set !

Al isn't too far off of reality though folks on 30 hertz. That isn't the problem with this motor though. How many of you so-called machinists/electricians (same oxymoron as electrician/ electric motor expert) have ever heard of a VFD? That is a Variable Frequency Drive in plain English. There are single phase input (none that I know of in 115V though) VFD drives for a narrow range of motors that can run them at say 20 hertz to say 80 hertz. Just thought you would like to know. Look up SubDrive on Franklin Electric's website. I think it is franklinelectric.com. The whole world could change soon with a few great intuitive electrical engineers!
