Heavy duty milling machine/drill press. 3 phase electric motor with a single phase inverter. Works very well. The inverter gives variable speed function, can run it very slowly or very fast or any speed in between.

The zip ties holding the gear levers in position raises some concerns. As does the profusely leaking gearbox. And the hacked in VFD.

Don't think it's worth that, but probably won't be around long

I was wondering if he did that because he just uses the VFD to change speeds and maybe he has the rpm set on the VFD in that gear?

It looks rough, but who knows under all the slime.

Could be, why not just remove the handles? I'd shift the gears and make sure they engage if I were looking at it.

Hard to say why people do what they do, but I agree with you lol.

Maybe it's been used mostly for drilling with that little x/y vise on it. The y gib screw looks like it has a lot of adjustment left.

Never really know til you go look.
