Recycle 1943 replied about 5 hours ago new the 3/8" you were referring to? Being imperial, would it object to a metric (6mm) tap? LBD -the 3/8" is the socket drive (ie: 1/4", 38", 1/2") or 9.5mm drive and I don't know the diameter of your crank shaft on the DP but I checked mine with a digital caliper and it was a little over .500.
All you imperials will now appreciate my insanity/confusion... I have a reading issue and when it needs to be evaluated... Houston (the pottzy NASA), we have a problem.
My NOVA is the same as yours, except mine is in downtown Churchill, so the .500m is lost to me, but I'm going to assume that is close to 12.7mm. With the "round" shape, I never considered using a socket... though tapping and bolting it makes total sense. I now have to find a dedicated drill to drive it.
Birdseye49 replied about 5 hours ago new I love my Voyager drill press except for one thing. I do not like the on..off buttons. I really would prefer a paddle type switch. Are there any alternatives??
What I hate about my Voyager is that it's not made for short rrrses. My neck gets sore looking up at the screen (its on a mobile base)... and I always forget my autostart... when I lower the quill to set depth.
I bought mine off the first production line (2017) and had a few issues, however, several firmware upgrades fixed my qualms... Have they improved the warning beep volume?
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
