Anyone have any experience or opinions on the Nova 58000 DVR drill press? I have been reading reviews and searching for a while trying to figure out which drill press to buy. I thought I liked the Powermatic until I read a ton of bad reviews. Then I looked at the Delta 18 inch press and again there were several people complaining about the run out, the pullies, the table not being 90, etc. I came across this unit and my first thought was to ask here.

I have had the Voyager for around 18 months. It is, in one word, fantastic.
It takes a short time to dial in the basic computer process, and then it becomes intuitive. Set up the ideal speed for a specific drill bit. No more burning and you maximise the life of the drill bit. Dial in the depth stop electronically. Use this for production drilling. Endless power and torque. 6" quill depth, where other drills are about half as much. So much more.
It does not come with a laser, so I added a Wixey.
