I've been told variable speed is favorable.

Don Favell had a Chaublin 102 lathe that I believe had a 3 phase motor that he had wired to some adapter circuitry to let it run on 115 volts giving him excellent speed control.

Regarding the Precision Matthews Vertical Mills.... they look great but I don't know much about this equipment.
