New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option


Hi Folks:
It looks like Teres is now offering a direct drive motor as an option on their regualar tables. As a Teres 255 owner I'm contemplating the upgrade. Has anyone tried the new motor on there existing/old Teres, and does it seem like the upgrade is worth it? Here's a link to the new product:

I wonder what this motor would sound like on a Raven One (or AC)?

Would the platter be too heavy for it? I think my One platter is about 20 lbs.

The Raven motors are very high torque, and excellent though driven by a belt.

I'm really curious.
Ketchup - Your post is most intriguing, and brings up an interesting point.

Are most lathes direct drive?
