Please forgive my ignorance but in the interest of possibly saving
money, can I use the 15 HP motor I already have with my 10HP Desco
panel without too much adverse consequence? *The idler is a 208V "soft
start" type. *I'd be willing to do a pony motor start if that is an
issue with such a setup *What consequences do you foresee in terms of
voltage/amp output and heat if any? *I am trying to run a 3 HP Monarch
lathe. I may have to run my Brown and Sharp mill also although not
necessarily simultaneously. *All advise and perspectives greatly
appreciated.

The Desco panel is just one of the generic "build your own RPC"
converter kits seen on eBay.
