Lathe Motor?

I'm fromiliar with the amount of turns equaling differnt rpms amd and tourqe. What made me ask the question. I just picked up a lathe motor up and noticed the top end of the motor has alot more works going on then a stock motor and also noticed the can is alot more shorter then a stock can.

A lathe motor is basically a modified motor with more turns of wire instead of less turns which most modified motors have for higher rpms. All of the added stuff on the end of the motor is so you can 'tune' the motor to your desired rpm by changing the brushes and brush springs.
