240V sounde like single phase a three phase motor would be marked for 415V
and have a 5-pin plug.

if that lathe is driven by an inducion motor (large, quiet, most lathes are)
you're looking for a variable frequency drive, but may should also check
withe the maker of the motor, there's some issues related to running single
phase induction motors under speed...
