    I dream of playing with your drill press, but I really don't think I'm smart enough to make it really work. Honestly, I do like the way it figures out the speed you need to drill the hole you are making. This thing is on my "when I win the lottery" list, right behind a '68 Camaro and a few other cars.... well and a big barn to keep them in. Still that was fun to watch.

    Long time to set up a speed for a particular bit. I just run a medium speed for all drilling operations and vary my feed rate as needed. I only change the pulleys to fastest speed when running a polishing wheel.

    Great way to do it, that's the way I pretty much did it on my old press. Today, I was messing around with it quite a bit and really didn't find the speed adjustments to be that cumbersome. I made a small project with forstner bits, and didn't consider it a pain to switch up the speeds. I will definitely be reporting back any positive or negative things I find with this new press. Thanks so much for the comment and thanks for watching!

Sometimes these new tools can be too complex for their own good! Thanks so much for watching! :)

    Thanks for the nice review. Can the machine be used for light milling of wood? It seems adding a machinists' x-y vice would add a great deal of functionality, if the bearing could deal with light/moderate side loads?

    Great question israelcharo! I’m not 100% sure about the light milling, but it is a very sturdy machine, probably depends on what you mean by light milling. I 100% agree with you on adding an XY vice. I would love to add something like that in the near future. I would also like to do some sort of drill press table that would have some settings for repetitive drilling and or clamping. Great question and thank you for watching!

    Hi Thanks for your video. I had never seen the likes of this. One big question I have as you covered this machine very well! Does the speed settings cover different materials such as general metal boring applications? I see with the bits it doesn't cover sanding spindles ir wire brushes wich I don't do since the very early days of pressing my drill press into situations it wasn't design for, but drilling into metal would seem to have some preset speeds for convievence from the factory IMO. Thanks and sorry if this was covered and I missed it being addressed. Like your shop and presentation Brian. Nice work.

    Nice - I have the poor man's version, the Bosch PBD 40. It lacks most of the Voyager's features, but has similar variable speed - do I miss having to change pulleys to change speed? What do you think? I didn't buy the Voyager because: 1) I don't have the space. 2) My "shop" is a garage where *everything* rusts at the drop of a hat, so the PBD 40's aluminium table is a bonus. 3) I didn't want a tilting table as I sometimes use a cast iron compound table for metal work, and it meant my old drill's titling table would tilt when I didn't want it to tilt! 4) It's way too expensive for my budget, but the final point is: 5) It's just not available in the UK (or it wasn't when I looked a year or so ago.) Doesn't stop me drooling over yours...

    I just googled your Bosch PBD 40 and that looks amazing as well! I love tools with new technologies like that. All great reasons not to buy the Voyager. Luckily I've got the space for it. I have a shop that is not climate controlled right now, but I'm hoping to have it insulated and conditioned soon (with all the cast iron that really concerns me, I already clean off my saw table about 4 times a year from rust) Thanks for sharing and great choice with the PBD 40!

    Dogg, man, that Nova is like working on the space shuttle. Who uses a drill press in their home shop enough to justify the cost of the Nova? Anyway, it's beautiful, but I'd have to drill a hole in my own head to prove I needed this machine. Not many push-ups today. Come on, Dogg, we'll be getting flabby without your help. Hey, would you sponsor our shop, we could use the your help. You could just send us the tools you no longer use.

    That seems like a lot of gremlins to account for just to drill a hole The tapping sounds like a nice feature and accounts for reverse but how long do you have to fiddle with it to get that working right? I bet it’s all dirt cheap too.

I agree with you, I would love to see how it handles the tapping. I'll probably do a video in the future showing how that works once I get a little more comfortable with it. I better not get this drill press wet, I know what happens to gremlins when they get wet! :)

    My menu doesn’t look anything like the one shown. When he used the drill bit to drill 3/4” deep, he went too slow. That’s a good way to burn the wood and overheat your drill bit. It’s a very good machine but the chuck that comes with it is not so good. It also goes up to 3000 rpm and 5000 rpm with a little configuration which is useful for small drill bits and drilling in aluminum.

    Thank you for sharing David. I'm surprised that the bit was going to slow since I set it with the machine. I'm wondering if I slowed the clip down for visual affects. I'll have to double check. Also strange that your screen looks totally different! I'm guessing we have different year models. Thanks for sharing and watching!

    Bryan, I appreciate the work you do for these KZread videos, and watch/like every one, but this is totally out of touch with us hobbyists. It's so expensive and how many of us hobbyists are doing 3 hours a day at a drill press where the efficiency of this press would save us enough time to be worth it? A Festool sander sure, but not this drill press. 😢
