NICE JOB! The world's seen many lathes, only a few have lever-operated tailstocks; at serious additional expense! Peck drilling allows the available RPM to do it's work on drill bits/ reamers/ counterbores etc at decent feed rate. A screw driven quill just can't.
Not to mention limitation of human wrists.

Sincerely,
