Teknatool Nova Voyager DVR Drill Press, 18 inch

An innovative drill press with unique features for boring in various materials. The machine may be operated manually or automatically by setting variables with the help of an LCD display. The machine can calculate, for example, the optimum rotation speed depending on drill bit type, diameter and material to be drilled.
The 1.5 kW (2 HP), digitally controlled, magnetic DVR (Digital Variable Reluctance) motor ensures continuous monitoring of the running motor in order to adjust the strength of the magnetic field needed to maintain a constant speed and torque.
The menu provides many additional settings: bore depth setting, automatic start and stop function, left/right rotation, the saving of eight rotation speeds as favourites, metric/imperial units, countersink function (prevents the drill from wandering), thread cutting function, as well as diverse safety features. Advantages:

• No overheating and wear through the smooth starting of the motor; solid steel rotor with no wire windings, brushes or permanent magnets
• No pulleys or drive belts to get dirty
• The ideal rotation speed can be calculated by the computer or set steplessly by turning a rotary knob for settings between 50 and 5500 rpm
• The computer controls the speed and keeps it constant while drilling
• The DVR drive maximises the effectiveness of the motor torque without interruption
