Getting used to moving the drill head to set the position is easy, just remember to release the depth stop (or put it high) so that you can then move it to actually drill.

On the other hand, the Bosch's clear speed readout, ease of setting exact, repeatable speeds and the excellent laser cross hairs suit my purposes very well - they may not be what everyone needs. These trackers enable basic interactions and functionalities that allow you to access selected features of our service and facilitate your communication with us. I really don't understand why this is a "green" tool, which is what Bosch consider a "DIY" tool rather than a "blue" tool which is their professional line.

The laser cross is pretty accurate, and accurate enough for quickly locating where to put the wood or center punched metal and then make fine adjustments to make sure the bit goes in the right place.Whether by design or not, it probably helps more than it hinders, given my experience of bits never being perfectly straight either. The Bosch PBD40 is half the size of that monster - but it has a plunge depth of 90mm - AND it changes speed by turning a knob, as simple as turning up the volume on a radio. You must send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay, and in any event not later than 30 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from the contract to us.

Every small bench top drill press I have seen requires the DP to clamped or bolted down, I have to wonder if these reviewers have ever reviewed / used a similar sized standard DP? FYI I've actually pulled the unit apart to look at the build quality, it's quite a nicely built unit and not that hard to dismantle should the need ever arise.He now has a Nova Voyager, but kept his Bosch, because why not - for most tasks it’s faster to set up than a basic drill press with belts. A : Hi Tom, I'm not sure what application you have in mind, but the Bosch PBD 40 can't be used for milling in the usual sense of the word as it is only designed to go up or down on the vertical axis. Quiet enough to have a conversation or listen to music (obviously not recommended for safety reasons, you should be paying attention to your tool and material), and likely won't disturb other people.

This is great if you know you need to drill holes to an exact depth, which you can either eyeball by watching the display, or set the built- in stop-block for the desired depth. A : I checked with Bosch to see if they could provide any more specifics on the drilling capacity of the PBD 40 and they advised that with the drill head at the very top of the column there is 285mm between the front face of the chuck and the bed.Bought this as I am building a flexible stair tread system allowing me to easily maintain and replace treads if needed. The Chuck is easy to use, lock and unlock but - my assessment of what happened - prolongued use, and thus Bit heat at high (max) revs, doing fairly tough demanding work, causes sufficient expansion of BOTH the Chuck and the Bit to 'fuse' to a minor extent - certainly enough to prevent easy, 'designed' release of the Bit once unlocked. It's very good under load, with the drill constantly adjusting the speed as the torque increases and decreases to keep it at your dialled in speed. Packed with helpful features that will make your life easier while you work on your DIY or professional projects. The reason I ask is that I don't use a DP as such, but a reasonably high torque power drill in a Wabeco unit.
