"I don't need much power" Then why are you starting off with 1/3 hp.
Possible disengage the motor and use the lathe as a winding jig form
holder with a crank handle mounted on the end.
For "home-brew", modified BBQ motor or Can Opener motors with a foot
pedal switch works ok. I have wound many coils and prefer to use my
own hand turned crank wheel, no motor, for the "best control". Hold
the wire with a rubber glove or washed hands for traction.
Good Luck,

The BBQ motor and can opener sound like a better speed. I guess a simple
on/off foot switch would work. I want 2 hands for the wire, so hand crank
is not ideal.
If I could put a ratchet on a pole lathe so it only goes one direction, that
would work too.

I hate it when making the tools takes longer than the project itself.
How would I couple a can opener motor to the chuck? I've never opened one
up yet.
