Interesting but not extremely useful as far as Cue Building That would be good for cutting flats and maybe milling glue grooves in the center of pins. Used a machine similar many years ago but it was a horizontal mill instead of vertical. The handle on top is for moving the cutter down quickly and the same for the slide. For what it does it does it quickly. We used ours to cut keyways and slots.
Those machines (and Barkers, Burkes, etc) with quick-action lever feeds rather than handwheels are often from production environments. As such they are often rather worn. I am personally waiting for either a really old Pratt&Whitney or a moderately old Atlas horizontal mill to come around .... but I aint holding my breath (sorry to disappoint some of you :wink
.Joey, if you want a really cool old horizontal mill look around for a Hardinge like this :

Its yours then Tom. I clicked on the link with 23 seconds left.
Not at all, its just when I happened to see Joey's link and click on it.
So I watched it end.
And I just bought a hand crank air blower for a coal forge so will be busy dumping extra money on that little hobby.
Like I need more eh?
