An AB Powerflex 525 just came up in the classifieds today for $200 New in box.Time may be short to do research,anyone else using this drive? Would it be a good selection to change over my 10 hp manual lathe to cnc?

What size motors can that AB 525 handle? The drive I'm looking at online has an output capacity of 2.5A, which is about 0.4 hp. You wrote that your manual lathe has a 10 hp motor.
