Crazy Drill Press From the Future! Is the Nova Viking Worth $1000?

Crazy Drill Press From the Future! Is the Nova Viking Worth $1000?
Nova Viking drill press review. I need to make space in my shop so I'm replacing my floor standing Jet drill press with the Nova Viking bench top machine. It's got some crazy features. Is it worth the investment?

[@MakeSomething]

Hey ya'll I fixed the video description. Sorry for the confusion. I blame Dan!

[@mikemulligancopilotdesigns9904]

Make Something dang it dan!

[@williamfitzgerald3485]

I thought we blamed Chuck?

[@TheOmegaman888]

Can I have your old one 😁

[@TheHslade3]

That sh*t just blew my mind. I know it’s spendy, but I can’t believe this tech is available to the consumer market. It’s now on my “one day” tool list. Thanks, man.

[@mikemulligancopilotdesigns9904]

Allen Marshall Jr no

[@StumpyNubs]

I've had the full sized Nova DVR drill press for a little over a year. Love it. Wait until you try tapping threads with it. It periodically auto reverses to clear the metal shavings as it cuts the thread.

[@80211Denver]

One of you should do a video demo of that

[@mikemulligancopilotdesigns9904]

Stumpy Nubs yeah that’s the first thing I thought of. I used to work in a factory making locks for a pickup bed cover and would pump out around 400 a day and had to drill and tap each one only had a 12v drill to do the tapping with. I’m sure I could have made 800 a day with that setup!:)

[@sergiopereira]

Why is the head of this smaller Viking model so much taller than the one in the Voyager (the floor model). Is the Voyager not direct drive? It has higher horsepower.

[@qwerty3663]

@@sergiopereira Integrated vs bolt on motor.

[@davidcl64]

The voyager has a lower speed limit of 150 I believe. Does that impact its usefulness for tapping?

[@AnthonyBowman]

Best part is Cameraman Dan not help David struggle to get the damn thing in the door. Excellent documentarian.

[@JesseLavery]

Did NOT see that ending coming. 😂 Loving the return of the lighthearted tone over the last few videos. (My kids still occasionally bust out your old "who's in your house?!?" line.) Good stuff.

[@tylerbourque100]

Was gonna suggest you just drag that thing out into the driveway but that was definitely more time efficient

[@firechicken5]

Thanks for that comment. I almost missed that part

[@bobbysharp]

I'm sold ordering one right now....after I get some drug money.

[@griffinmakes]

That line killed me lol.

[@bigdogmn73]

You didn't get your drug money in the mail yet?

[@zavoina]

"Why reverse?" "To go backwards." | Loving it.

[@Garganzuul]

Thread tapping also.

[@TokiNotAB]

omg the amount of happiness in this video! It's like watching a kid on christmas and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

[@iancrossley6637]

Funny I find it annoying. Nice drill press though.

[@BenHolmen]

I haven't had this much fun watching a tool unboxing/setup/review video EVER.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

I never thought I’d have drill press envy. But here I am.

[@curbstalker6577]

YouCanMakeThisToo I thought the same thing

[@JkCanvas]

I am so glad you are having fun in the shop again. I now have Drill Press Envy. Looking forward to seeing how you incorporate this into your woodworking builds. LOVE IT MAN

[@cardboardorigami]

My friend just bought the same one, I got to use this press recently. I love it. Maybe you could make one round plate with a square insert for easy replacement

[@homegamerengineer3747]

I love the more light hearted mood. Looks like you are having fun, so I am having fun. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@musicbymark]

RE: INSERTS - suppose you could make ONE round replacement that has a SQUARE opening in ITSELF, allowing you to make square replacements.

[@badbatch974]

Mark Young that’s what I was thinking. Just make a metal insert with a square hole to put sacrificial wood inserts in.

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Your excitement in this video is so contagious - I love it! That thing looks amazing!!! Another great edit Dan! Hahaha and that ending!

[@jmakes3745]

Loving your last few videos David! Such a positive energy, and the little comments and joke can't help but make me burst out laughing!

[@ZMAC441]

Having Dan edit videos might be one of the best decisions ever! Love your videos and now I am literally laughing out loud while watching. The candidness his style brings adds a whole new level. I am pumped to see how the channel changes and progresses and love the direction you’re taking it as well as doing what makes you happy, it is defiantly showing through with how optimistic you are.

[@woodshop7487]

Without question, you're funniest video ever and prob the funniest youtube video I've seen... . I was in tears... I had to rewind it twice.... love it David. The drill is a beast as well. Very jealous.... lol. 😂😂😂😁😁😁

[@rays.5800]

The tool is a drift to get the chuck out and put a morass taper drill in.

[@diymatt]

Because we all need morass in our life.

[@jacksat2252]

Can use it to easy change the keyless with this one ,both should have the same taper.

[@justind8521]

Ray is right. If you extend the quill you'll see it has a slot in it. You insert the tool and give it a tap and the wedge shape will eject the morse taper arbor that holds the chuck. When you get your keyless chuck, get an extra arbor, then you can quickly swap chucks.

[@McFlysGarage]

-chortle- Morass

[@jonahbrame7874]

Pssst it’s Morse

[@josephdestaubin7426]

Reverse should fill in the hole when you mistakenly drilled in the wrong place.

[@dallastaras]

“This one has 4 1/2 inches ... my other had 3...” *Dan immediately starts laughing* #twss

[@BurninGems]

Size doesn't matter? Lol

[@griffinmakes]

@@BurninGems it's not about the travel distance, it's about how you drill the hole.

[@anthonydtobias]

Ha ha 😂

[@design-ov8td]

I would have never thought I would laugh so hard watching a drill press review!! You are the best!! Thanks for all you do!!!

[@kipsimpson2332]

This is one of my favorite videos from you. Seeing you getting excited about this cool tech is contagious. Loved the spontaneo hug.

[@fatfuzzypotato6113]

The little triangle thing that you thought was a insert remover is a Morse taper removal tool you put the quill down and there is a slot that you put it in and it will wedge the chuck out

[@felixf5211]

FWIW, it's called a drift.

[@davidbierhaus1394]

You guys are knocking out of the park with these last couple videos! Incredible work!

[@bossmonster3319]

Dude! This was not a woodworking video and I haven't seen a more fun-loving enjoyable video this good in a long time. NAILED IT!

[@crisvega7588]

Really enjoyed this format, this kinds vlog style really let your personality shine even more and awesome to see Dan having fun.

[@brentfowler2317]

I love the new focus. You and Bob, and Jimmy. You three are what got me into woodworking. I've been at it for about a year now. Well getting a shop set up, and working with wood is a passion of mine. And it's thanks to you three. Keep up the great video. And the great work.

[@MakeSomething]

Right on thanks Brent!!

[@GiacoWhatever]

Your enthusiasm is making me buy one right now. I just hope I can get it at this side of the pond!!!

[@GiacoWhatever]

And I’m just 7 min into the vid

[@MakeSomething]

I’m loving the vlog! You’re killing it!

[@GiacoWhatever]

Make Something means a lot from you! 🥰

[@ZeroBalanceBuilds]

Dude. Great. Great. Great. My wife was asking why the hell I was laughing at a drill press video.

[@alkalinedale]

Gotta stop saying this isn’t a comedy channel. You two having fun adds so much to the videos. Please keep adding it.

[@chadstoudt2580]

Love the new style of video. Keep it up man! The ending was the best part hahaha.

[@bluecollarmoneymatters8246]

"I may make my own fence." (Sounds like he's on the fence about it.)

[@Jonas_Keunecke]

Aaah... thanks.. that was classy

[@sergiopereira]

And that fence is a $80 add-on. It probably works better on the Voyager's table that has parallel slots. The Viking only has the X slots.

[@skewedmaker]

Most entertaining unboxing video I've seen in some time. Your genuine sense of awe at discovering the drill slowing down and reversing was like a kid opening a new toy on Christmas day...though I hope you didn't get caught watering the tree like that

[@MrBUNGENEERS]

That was the best ending ever haha👌 like it that you made a big turn in youtube! And btw nice drillpress never saw one like this.

[@scottsh21]

Really fun video. Enjoyed it very much. Plus great break down of the DP for an initial use.

[@NWGR]

You had me giggling the entire video lol Priceless ending! XD I thought I was happy with my faithful ridgid drill press. I *thought* I was... This one is going on my short list. As much as I use my drill press, the features this one offers would improve my work efficiency by a ton.

[@DumpsterMarcus]

Dude This video was the best!!!! You guys are too funny!! Love the back and forth talk! The drill press is just wow!! Crazy awesome!!

[@FigmentsMade]

It was nice to get a closeup view of the carpet there. 😁 Loving the humor!

[@jondunsmore2121]

I shouldn't have started eating when I watched this. Because I almost choked from laughing so hard when you were moving it onto the lathe table lol.

[@matthewpsaville]

Hey Dave. Love the style and passion of your new vids. Cheers.

[@coburninator]

Fun vid and helpful vid. Seems like the new video formula is working out great.

[@teammoon4017]

David, I really enjoyed the video, I could tell you really had fun making it, and it shows.

[@alexmaggiacs7235]

Camera Dan's Editing > Dave's editing. Fight me *Laughs* Great content as always! Love that the lighthearted tone has come back to your videos.

[@davetrack2950]

The camera work, editing, and music on this video are top notch. That was a sensual unboxing.

[@mikechadwick2785]

Dan!! I hope you see this friend. I love your editing. It might get repetitive in the future but right now it is hilariously refreshing. Keep it up!

[@BitsandWood]

Dude, this is the best tool review/unboxing video ever! :D

[@mirceabascuti]

The stop and then reverse is for threading with taps in blind wholes! Awesome feature!

[@Hubbmade]

Amazing video for an amazing tool! Super fun to watch, thank you!

[@WigWagWorkshop]

😂 love the interaction in this episode. Really enjoy using my Nova DVR, runs so smooth. I installed the Woodpeckers table and fence system, huge improvement. Also, they have excellent customer service. ✌️

[@johnmunoz8845]

Love your video! Love your new drill press! I get your frustrations with your old drill press. When your under the gun to get things done and you're in the zone. You need your equipment to run and work smoothly period. Thanks for the great info. I am researching for my new drill press. This is very helpful.

[@alexclark6777]

I don't know how this is possible but your videos are getting even funnier.

[@BeInspiredwithDominic]

Frankly, I don't know what I want for my shop more - such a cool drill press or a Dan. Thanks for sharing, David!

[@ronswoodturningshopandstuf5759]

I upgraded my Nova 1624 wood lathe with the DVR controller. Whole new world of control and safety. Shuts down if you get a catch and applies more power to be consistent on speed. Love it!!

[@MakeSomething]

looking at getting one of their lathes in the future!

[@ausgra17]

Great video, full disclosure, honest and FUN!

[@timtomtingthing]

“I made from... selling drugs” 😂😂

[@proflohn]

Not cool

[@willburke]

immediately reminded me of "But Black Dynamite, *I* sell drugs to the community!"

[@mikechadwick2785]

I died

[@scottroy6195]

I need to start selli g as I must have one.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome video David! 😃👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻 .. Super cool new drill press, seems like all of those features would be really useful for tapping as well!

[@JeremiahL]

I like the how you guys are joking around in your recent videos! I read a post somewhere where you were saying that you cut all of the jokes out because you want to come off as serious... I definability like the humor...

[@LutherBuilds]

So glad that you didn't leak the end of the video on the podcast. 😉😉

[@sgsax]

Dude, this one absolutely slayed me. Brilliant information and that is a beautiful Cadillac of a drill press, but the entertainment value is through the roof. And can we just take a moment to appreciate the footage at 11:55? Thanks for sharing!

[@karl_alan]

Hmm....I love circular inserts. Been using them on mine for years. Essentially the benefit is if you have the center of the stand off center from the circle, you can continually rotate the insert to get areas that haven't been eaten up yet, making it so you need to change inserts way less often because they are so reusable.

[@matromik1]

I have to say, showing more of your actual personality in these videos makes them so much more entertaining and fun. Also I dig tool reviews so 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MrAlklein]

I didn’t wanna watch this video for entertainment and fun I just wanted to review I dislike him showing more of his personality

[@johndeaux9987]

Ironically, that's why I gave it a thumbs down....just review the product and stop wasting time is my opinion. If only he was as funny as he thought he was, he'd be onto something.

[@jtrain79]

Loved this video

[@mikeygee2465]

Probably, nope definitely your most entertaining video to date! Couldn’t stop laughing. Oh and the drill is pretty cool too!

[@sergiopereira]

Love your channel David. Please never stop.

[@almagill]

Happiest Valentine's Day video ever... Dan, in the name of all that's Holy, don't leave him alone with that machine.

[@RadDadisRad]

I have that same JET, I modified mine extensively. I switched out the motor for a 2hp Baldor gold drive rated motor. Installed a single phase VFD with adjustable accel and deccel ramps along with being able to control the speed via frequency. I also drilled the spindle and installed a whirly handle.

[@RadDadisRad]

I also only paid $25 for it at a garage sale and as an automation and controls electrician I was able to do all this work myself.

[@thomasgcampbell]

That is the best Valentine’s Day ever. Telling my wife to take back the chocolate strawberries.

[@mannyboga3815]

This video was so fun!

[@jaykepley5238]

Beautiful new machine! You can capture most of the dust/shavings by putting dust collection near the bit. I plan on using one of the hoses that will stay where you put it. In the meantime, I've been using a bungee cord and a shop vac hose. Works great.

[@oakgrove19]

Hahahah hahahahahaha so many good jokes on this one. Love the new vibe David.

[@TwistedTwineWoodworking]

Glad I watched to the very end!!! 😂😂😂

[@robdean54]

Thanks so much for making this! I've had my eye on the floor model for a long time, but think I'm gonna get this one instead and mount the head to my floor model for added distance. Cannot wait to drill glass! hopefully this will cut down on cracking on some whiskey bottles. Also do you have a link for the keyless chuck? thanks!

[@davidgerregano4464]

That was great stuff. Thank you

[@thomasverdi2056]

Love to see you energy and passion is back. And yes I did love the drill press until. Pppppppppeeeee

[@jonwills1957]

I just spit coffee everywhere at the end! Loving the new style

[@Martinsolberg]

Congrats, Looks and sounds awesome!

[@KenRobidoux]

Loving the "new" Dave!

[@builditorbust4801]

Great video! I actually laughed out loud. Did you order this in town or on the interwebs? I never knew how much I disliked my drill press until now.

[@derekjarman1638]

Don't think I have laughed so much while watching one of your videos🤣🤣 Also that is one bad ass drill press!

[@industrialarts3921]

LOL I didn't see that coming! Great video!

[@evanharriman5352]

20 seconds into the video and I love that you had Cameradan film you struggle to get the drill press into the shop!

[@JonathanRansom]

Best unboxing sequence I've ever seen.

[@mattmaloney5626]

Great video once again, rockin the authentic change up and Dan edits. My eight year daughter Olivia loves watching your videos with me. She said today, "he's funny. I think he refuses to grow up! He should built a penny floor in the floating head corner." So, challenge accepted?

[@groobus]

It's not often you get the little kid excitement giggles as an adult. Worth every penny just for that.

[@paulmurphy4277]

That ending. 🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥

[@MrDanyoumell]

Great video! Thanks!

[@MartyOfAllTrades]

Okay, I now have to have one of these. Got to HAVE one now. Good timing since I needed to purchase a drill press anyway.

[@RuudErik]

A quick look through the manual online shows that the USB cable is for firmware updates. I already have a soldering iron with update-able firmware so now I need this too!

[@GlassImpressions]

I have their floor unit and it is one of the best tools in my shop. PS, reverse for tapping.

[@hypnolobster]

I'm kicking myself for not ordering one like ~3 years ago. They're $600 more now than they used to be.

[@ManCrafting]

Glass Impressions twss

[@markdammes1947]

Reverse for drilling snapped bolts?

[@49cfr]

This video made my day.

[@calebwhite1999]

Nova's quality is great. I have their DVR 3000 lathe. So glad they finally released a bench top version with the DVR tech.

[@LReBe7]

9:16 that wedge is for driving out the Morse taper with which the drill chuck is mated to the quill.

[@WhatDennisDoes]

Dude this is hilarious, I love it! Guess you gotta go back to a chuck key with that reverse drive tho.

[@marknylund1808]

Love the video. I’m getting one for my shop, but I need to wait almost 5 months for delivery.

[@jonsoydinc2908]

Because of your impressive video and info on this drill press, I went and bought one, thanks 👍

[@shopcatt643]

Great video! Cool drill press!

[@Pickswitch]

I loved the old style but I gotta say I'm loving Dan's editing style a lot. Great stuff man

[@jamal69jackson77]

Didn't even know this drill press existed... I'm buying one! Excellent video!

[@stevenfernandez4787]

I used the floor model all day today. what a great time to be alive!

[@zavoina]

I like the round sacrificial table as it rotates in smaller increments and lasts longer. It's a trade off with an easier to make square. And they didn't call it a portable drill press, did they. And goodness that is quiet.
