Dave:
Thanks for the post, as I¡¯m in a similar situation¡ I gave away an?old Delta 16¡± floor model, due to space constraints and that it was underutilized. I¡¯ve recently expanded my shop, and am looking to purchase a drill press. Clausing is on my radar; though, they seem to lack much of the digital enhancements of the Nova offerings.
I¡¯m very interested in the Forum¡¯s views.

I keep being tempted to treat myself to a replacement for my old and rattly 4-speed Denford Viceroy pillar drill and the recent mention of the Nova drills has restarted the internal debate. My current drill press enables me to make perfectly adequate holes so I'm having difficulty justifying a change, both to myself and SWMBA ... I think it's more wanting a new toy rather than needing to replace the existing one. Anyway, I'd welcome and comments and observations on the Nova Viking and Voyage drills because their sparkly gizzmos are calling to me ;-)
