It appears that it could have a third speed on the drill press assuming the drill bits socket into the arbor that seems to go through the dynamic vise jaw, allowing the crank handle to drive either of the two reduction gears and also a third direct drive speed to the shaft that presumably receives the grinding wheel hub. It looks like it would be a simple engineering job to create a bead roller apparatus to mount where the reduction gears are too, but that would require quick change gears. "OK, knock it off Simpson! Your project creep has gotten completely out of hand. We said Six-In-One and that's what we're building, now get those drawings off to manufacturing!"
Forgive me, please, for this dumb question. So to use the drill press, the operator drives the bit with the crank and pushes the workpiece with the handwheel on the 6-in-1's other end? Yikes. The thought makes me a bit seasick.
On second thought, I guess it's no more (insanely) difficult than the two-hands, two-speeds dexterity needed to operate a surface grinder. Or am I mis-imagining how the thing would work?

Looks that way. One solution, the apprentice turns the drill handle.
