So your baby can have a drill to copy his big daddy, duh.

Get it. Get it for your baby.

I'm trying to think of a reason that I need to buy a "baby" drill press.
Unfortunately, I really don't need it.

Too bad they don't make a larger version of this. Give it a 1hp and a 6" spindle travel, and I'd happily throw $500 at it.

Why Bosch doesn't have their PBD-40 mini drill press, available in the US, I'll never understand.

EU 240V and US 240V are drastically different is the likely reason. Their 240V is more like US 120V, so they would have to redesign and rebuild it from the ground up after sourcing a new 120V motor.
Yeah... but just the motor system. The PBD-40 as is could house a motor similar to the 1-¼hp bosch colt motor with a type of VFD involved to regulate speed, without burning out the motor.

I for one would love a smaller version of the Nova (Teknatool) Voyager, or Viking (but made by a different company lol.). But the bells and whistle on them are more than I'd ever need. So a scaled down version with less... stuff... would be great. Just a simple direct drive drill press without belt changes, and a speed control. Maybe splurge a bit for a reverse feature, so if I ever git frisky, i could tap left handed threads lol (like if i wanted to mess with someone's head 100 years from now when they see what I was working on, and screamed at me for causing them to shear a few bolts. Lol.)

Tbh, I've made drill press type tools a few times, but getting variable speeds from an electric handrill isn't easy.

I have full size drill presses (a 10 and a 16) but both are a belt adjusted speeds, and having 1 arm, changing a belt speed

Cannot recommend teknatool-nova's DVR tech highly enough. It's been dream-like: constant torque, ultimate variable-speed capability, reversible, etc.

Does anyone have experience with the G0925 model vs the model posted. I've been eyeing the G0925 model for awhile now. Seems to have decent reviews, anyone have experience with that model?

I get it... it's awesome. But $1,200 awesome? I say no.

Plus, the people at Teknatool are... not very... well they're just 💩 . I'm about a mile away from Teknatool (the company appointed by Nova to do their drill presses).

They never answer emails or phone calls, and many of the drill presses they ship out have issues. My turning friends love their lathe chucks, but they know if there's ever an issue, then they will have to go on an adventure to get it resolved.

I kept wanting to go in to talk to someone, but they're never there. It's like a laundering front ??? lol.


Hopefully, someone makes a simpler version of a DVR press. My drill presses stay at one speed setting because I just can't change the belts.

It wouldn't be worth it for just a drill press, especially for a hobbyist like me. My teknatool nova DVR is a PowerPro upgraded shopsmith, which makes for a better drill press and lathe than you'd think, considering it's supposed to be a jack of all trades. Of course tool changeovers can be a hassle for a neurotic fiddler like me, let alone a pro production woodworker.

I did recall your account of teknatool's customer service. For some reason I thought they were in NZ, though. Anyway, I can imagine that down time battling lacking customer service would be an enormous setback for someone whose profession depends on the tool, so I can understand why it wouldn't be worth the risk, superior tool or not.

Am I reading it right, the spindle travel is less than an inch?
Doesn't look like wood working tool.
