Would anyone know if a 7.5 HP 16x40 lathe would be able to run from a
10 HP idler. I am sure that power reversing would not be possible, but
would it be able to start it at higher RPM?

I have a 10HP idler in my shop and have started my 7.5HP mill motor and a
7.5HP(or 10HP, don't remember) 18" X ~72" lathe. The lathe started very
slow but it did start. I never tried power reversing.
