Well i just bought a bunch of equipment and machines from a local guy closing up his shop for a decent price and one of which is this rockwell 15-655 series drill press on a stand just looking for more information on it. The good and the bad quirks if any stuff like that. I havent owned one before Is it worth keeping for my own shop?Resized_20220728_163421.jpeg
 
That Clausing-designed unit is one of the more versatile bench-top drill presses ever made and much in demand by home shop guys. Is yours single-phase or 3-phase?

The versatility is provided by the Reeves drive which gives infinitely variable speeds.

The bad news is Reeves drives eventually wear out and get noisy and have to be rebuild. The good news is that takes a lot of use.
