@mattf7070 3 года назад

I'm glad I watched your vid. I've been contemplating upgrading my old bench drill press with a mill drill for almost a year. But then I concluded that even though I do mill from time to time all I really needed at home was a better drill press. I like the fact that the bench model doesn't have all the menus to tab through (I can look up speeds in tables on the wall) and the floor version is way more than I needed anyway. So I pulled the trigger yesterday and picked it up. Beats the pants off my old machine and from what I can tell most! Powerful, easy to use, quiet and runout on the taper in the quill is 0.0007". Bonus, you CAN tap with this machine. You can't use a hand tap but with a spiral point tap (gun tap) and the depth stop/auto reverse feature you just power tap the same way you do on a Bridgeport mill . . . only it's easier since now I don't need to use two hands! Made two perfect 10-32 tapped holes into angle iron in seconds. I'm guessing this is faster than tapping mode on the Voyager model with hand taps.

@DesignCraftWorkshop 3 года назад

Great presentation, thank you. I was pulling the trigger on a 17"Jet DP and this model showed up, I think I am in as well. The variable speed option at this price point is a fantastic bargain and has no changing belts, not to mention the ultra-fancy digital features. The Viking does come in a taller floor model #83706. Some reviewers have stated that tapping threads with this model should be much easier.

@Wood_Slice 4 года назад

I consider the NOVA drill presses number 1 just like Sawstop for table saws. Just a quick note on the dept stop- you set it for 1/4 of an inch but it measures it from the forstner bit tip not the actual shearing action bit. Might need to adjust for that when drilling and needing a specific depth.

@DesignCraftWorkshop 4 года назад

For sure man! It’s an awesome machine

@weldslikebutterfabrication483 2 года назад

left hand drill bits are cool for drilling out broken bolts, the drill bit usually heats up the bolt and most times with the cutting pressure out comes the bolt.

@richdbolduc 3 года назад

the 110V and 220V are the same, just a different plug. You could swap the plug on on this, or make a conversion cable. Unlike the Nova products that use the 1250W motor, this will stay 750W (1HP) at both 110V and 220V. The reverse function can also be used with sanding drums. For anyone watching now, there's a floor model of the Viking now, exact same unit, just a taller column and longer rack.

@DesignCraftWorkshop 3 года назад

pretty cool that they offer a floor standing one now. Didn't know that. Thanks!

@TheWoodStroker 2 года назад

Nice Vid. However the hole is not .25" deep because of the forstner bit tip. In order to compensate for the tip, either bury it in the stock with added pressure during the measuring step or add more depth during the setting step.

@DesignCraftWorkshop 2 года назад

Yes you're right 👍

Great video and timely for me. I just bought a Viking drill press and I will pick it up this afternoon. That said, do you have a recommendation for the height of the mobile base that you are building? Please keep up the great work! Cheers

@DesignCraftWorkshop 4 года назад

Thanks Kevin! I'm sure it'll be just as awesome for your shop as it has been for mine. Let me know what you think! Currently, my workbench is 35" high. I plan on making the mobile station 30" high. I'm 5'9" just for reference and that would make the controls on the drill press just above eye level.

@kevinclark8311 4 года назад

Design Craft Workshop I truly appreciate your quick response. I am 5’ - 9” as well and was thinking that 27” would work well, but 30” seems to make sense as well. I will shoot you a note when I get up and running which might be tomorrow with local rain on the horizon. Cheers

@DesignCraftWorkshop 4 года назад

Kevin Clark I was considering moving it lower than 30”, but the table would be too far down for my liking. I already am starting to have back problems and don’t want it to escalate 😂😂😂 thanks Kevin 👍🏻

@Painfulwhale360 3 года назад

Can this make repeatable holes one after another? I need to drill about 20-30 holes in a piece of wood and don’t want to to shut down after each time it hits the depth stop. Also, if you set it to stop at a certain depth, do you have to reset the depth each time hot turn it off and then back on?

@DesignCraftWorkshop 3 года назад

Once you set the depth it stays until you reset it. So yes very repeatable

@LiloUkulele 2 года назад

When you zero'd out the bit, it was the tip of the brad bit and not the cutting edge....do you need to push the bit into the wood down to the cutting edge to properly set the depth?. What height is your countertop...I'm 6'4" tall

Yes the bit should be all the way down. The height is 30”. Little too tall for me. I'm 5’9”

@DesignCraftWorkshop 3 года назад

Not sure the technical specs, but it plugs into a standard 110 outlet or 220 depending on what you get. It is a direct drive motor though.

@teammap6008 3 года назад

I have tried to get the answer to this from teknatool and failed. Please help me if you can. If the drill press is setup on a bench with a wall behind it and the base of the drill press is placed right next to the wall, is there enough room to turn the table handle? Assume the wall is vertical.

@DesignCraftWorkshop 3 года назад

It'll be tight but you can get pretty close to the wall. It's pretty standard drill press table design.

@teammap6008 3 года назад

@@DesignCraftWorkshop Thanks for answering. I did think it would be very tight. My bench is 479mm wide and I use the front face of the bench as the back of a fence for my RAS so I cannot allow the base to protrude over the front of the bench. Also with the drill mounted so close to a rear wall, I was wondering whether it would still be possible to move the table out of the way and place the workpiece to be drilled on the base?

@DesignCraftWorkshop 3 года назад

I suppose you could if the piece is tall enough. you'll have to figure out a way to support the piece perfectly vertical.

@teammap6008 3 года назад

I just took delivery of my new Nova Viking and managed eventually to get it single handed up onto my bench. I would appreciate answers to two questions from anyone who has assembled one. 1) The table winding handle will not fit on the spindle more than 1/16 inch. Whilst this is enough to operate it, I wonder whether I have done something wrong or whether it is a manufacturing defect. 2) I cannot use the drill at all as the display shows "chuck guard open". Is it possible to use the drill without the chuck guard? and if not what might I have done wrong in connecting the chuck guard electrics? Thanks in anticipation of an answer.

@DesignCraftWorkshop 3 года назад

I haven't had these issues. Maybe give them a call

@williamivey5296 3 года назад

Re: 220V version. Looks like it's the same setup as the Nova Voyager - the only change needed to run it on 220-240VAC is to change the plug to the proper kind, usually a NEMA 6-15P for the U.S. (and Canada, AFAIK). The internals, like a lot of modern electronics, don't care. Whether 120 or 220, the manual says to use a 15 Amp surge suppressor since it is electronic.

@DesignCraftWorkshop 3 года назад

Yeah that's pretty much what is needed. New tail that's going to work with a 220v plug.

@steinbierz Год назад

Interesting. I guess I don't understand the internal wiring of this that would allow just changing the plug to convert it to 220-240v. I read the same thing about the Nova Voyager drill press and assumed there must be more to it?

@williamivey5296 Год назад

@@steinbierz Apparently it's like a switching power supply, the input voltage isn't really important since it's all electronically converted to whatever the motor requires at any given moment anyway. (The motor is more like a giant stepper motor than a traditional tool motor.) Same power no matter the input voltage, just less current at the higher voltage. It's really an amazing tool - well worth the money. (Mine has the Viking head but with the floor length tube like the Voyager - I was running out of bench space.)

@steinbierz Год назад

@@williamivey5296 Thanks for the explanation, William!

@brianmoore581 Год назад

So do you leave it plugged in all the time like you would a computer? Or do you unplug it when you aren't using it ? Does it take long to power up? Just a few stupid questions before I buy one of these. And lastly, do you think you have it at a safe height? Looks potentially dangerous with your work piece and drill bit right in your face like that!

@DesignCraftWorkshop Год назад

I leave it plugged in and it doesn't take long to turn on. There is an on/off switch on the side. Yes it is a bit high for my liking, but I've haven't had any issues. I always clamp down whatever I'm working on.
