    VFD and 3-phase motor on drill press

    Yup, did a couple drill presses and a Bridgeport…works well. GFCI outlets in shop did not like VFD so had to replace outlet with standard outlet.

    Speed Handles --- What They Good For?

    Agree…inspection panel screws can be real finicky to remove or one spends many hours extracting stripped out screws. Speed handle allows a more controlled torque application feel whilst removing. Driver bit selection is key also.
