Too short for the floor -- but really too tall for most workbenches. I cobbled together my own rolling stand out of 2x4s to put this at the correct height for me to see the screen and operate the controls -- about 10 - 12 inches shorter than a standard workbench. **Q: What is the tilt of the table?** A: The angle gauge on the unit displays 45 degrees in each direction. The manual does not state a value. I can rotate mine 90 degrees either way but the table collar (and therefore the table) then needs to be rotated horizontally on the main post to provide a useful function **Q: Does it have a tapping mode?** A: There is no tapping mode per se but it can drill at 100 rpm and then reverse and withdraw the drill bit or tap. **Q: There seems to be quite a few complaints of the machine arriving damaged, or that the fit and finish is bad. True?** A: My first Nova drill press arrived with a broken speed dial. Its shaft was broken and the dial did nothing. the damage was probably due to careless packing for shipping. The cast and steel parts were very nicely finished and fit well together. A replacement of the circuit board that the speed dial was attached to would have fixed the problem. Nova Viking had no access to a circuit board, so they replaced the damaged drill press with a new one and paid for shipping both ways. The replacement drill press was beautiful. everything worked and fit and finish was very good. I am really glad that I have it. Well worth the trouble. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific drill press with a great (and useful) feature set *by K***L on April 20, 2024* I was swapping out my 20 year old Delta full height VS drill press and couldn't decide whether to get the benchtop or full height Viking. I looked at the Voyager, but it was just more drill press than I wanted to move around (i.e. one of the reasons I was getting away from the Delta). I ultimately went with the benchtop because it would be more mobile when placed on a Dewalt planer stand, which is a terrific base for the Viking. No regrets other than it precluded me from using Woodpeckers drawer mount for their drill press table. I'll survive and can create storage another way.Packaging and delivery were first rate. Everything was very well protected, and what little assembly is required is straightforward. Every large tool setup should be this easy.The drill press itself is nothing short of impressive. It's much much quieter and more stable than my Delta. The VS is super easy, and the self start and depth stop features are incredibly useful. I wondered if they would be gimmicks, but self start in particular makes me wonder how I used a drill press without it. The only comment on the depth stop is to make a test hole. Perhaps because I use brad point bits, the depth stop runs a smidge deep on mine. For example, if I set it to .5", the hole measures .565" deep. But if I drop the depth setting back, it's perfect. I was actually duplicating some holes that another shop had drilled and wondered why they had holes that were .565" deep. I think I know the answer.There is a lot of chatter about the accuracy of the included chuck. I'm not doubting anyone's experience, but here's mine. I purchased a 6" lathe test mandrel with runout of less than one micron (.0001). The runout measurement at the far end of the mandrel is slightly less than .0015. I wouldn't dream of buying a new chuck to try to improve on that. I've never longed for a keyless chuck on my drill presses, so that is not an issue for me.All told, this is a terrific drill press at any price, and an incredible value at this price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best shop tool I have bought in a long time *by G***D on November 30, 2024* It's a great drill press. It's very powerful, surprisingly quiet, no belts to mess when changing speeds - I really, really like it. It's one weakness is a marginal chuck. To reduce runout, get a good chuck like a Llambrich or Albrecht. I bought a Llamrich L31408B keyless chuck for mine. I would advocate buyit it off Amazon Prime to get free shipping. Other plates said shipping would be $150-200. UPS delivered it in great shape. Assembly is quick and easy. You'll either need a friend or a lift table to get the drill into position given it's weight and being top heavy. Again, great press - I'd very much recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Drill Press *by W***Y on December 5, 2022* This drill press does it all. Not sure why anyone would purchase anything else. It has laser cross hair light, work light, auto depth, speed adjusted electronically with a knob (no belt change), direct drive, zero limits, etc. Yes it is on the higher end price but with the features you get it is well worth it, I could never go back to my old drill press. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/181366461-nova-viking-16-inches-dvr-bench-drill-press](https://www.desertcart.is/products/181366461-nova-viking-16-inches-dvr-bench-drill-press) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
