Overall good but.... The chuck is for a 1.5mm drill and not for 1mm. I found the code of AEG 4032364266 from TECHNOMAT S.A. which is manufactured by ROHM for AEG. I changed it and solved my problem with the thickness of the drill and the minimization of play!!!!!!
I had one from a well-known supermarket chain which I considered excellent since I hadn't used any other until it burned out. I bought the Bosch and it's simply on another level, where the old one would get stuck when drilling through iron, this one goes through it effortlessly. One time the drill got stuck and it simply broke it with its power. The laser is fantastic and the round handle suited me immediately. The chuck holds firmly and securely.
Dear friends of skroutz.gr, today I took the tests and passed with a score of 98/100.
A) I wrote a month ago that the chuck has small tolerances, but in the design of vertical expenses, this tolerance is an advantage because... when we aim with the point on a metal surface as required before drilling, then we have to align the drill with the point. Now, in order to center it at 100/100, you need magnification at the point... and that's what I did. I adjusted the tripod, placed my phone on it, and zoomed in x30. I could see the aiming point x30. I lowered my drill 3mm at the point and there the advantage of the chuck's small tolerance became apparent. As soon as I lowered the drill, it locked itself in the aiming point and went down, correcting any deviation from the vertical alignment at the point... 230 rotations and it cut through like butter.
B) Then I drilled with an 8mm drill bit and again this small deviation corrected the alignment and the drill centered itself and went down smoothly... after measurements I made on the adapter for the lathe chuck, which is 160mm, I had to make the final cut with a 9mm drill bit and again it corrected itself and made a precise cut right at the center, 99.9% accurate. That's when I realized that these small tolerances of the chuck are really crucial.
FINAL... I made the adapter and adjusted the SA NOU 160mm chuck with a measured deviation using a hundredth of a millimeter watch, with a measurement of 1/100 of a millimeter!!!! Even with a laser cutter, I wouldn't have such precision. In a few hours, I will upload photos for you to see... it gets an excellent rating from me because a) it has a 3-year warranty, b) it is sturdy, c) it has a laser and lighting mechanism, d) it has electronic speeds without variable gearing, from 230 rotations per minute to 2500, e) it is ergonomic with an arm for securing the object for processing, f) it has tube nests for centered drilling in pipes, and g) it is beautiful and truly sturdy, drilling from 1.5mm to 13mm in metal and up to 40mm in wood...! I also forgot to mention the electronic meter on the dial with a clear indication of cutting depth, a large screen, and maximum cutting depth!
It is much easier to use than regular drills, as it changes speeds instantly without a belt, has a keyless chuck, an adjustable stop without the need for measurements, easily adjusts the height, and has a large stroke. I wanted it for wood, but it effortlessly drilled through a 2mm metal sheet. I also thought it would make more noise, but I was wrong. As a negative, I dislike the weight on the handle, as it lowers the entire drill instead of just the chuck, and if you want to utilize the full stroke, you need a second hand on the handle or hold it from a very low position. I have also made a review on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxv_lEa7A9Q&t=350s&ab_channel=EmpnoiaCraftsandDIY
Before I describe, let me mention that I work with wood. Not just soft woods like pine and fir, but hard ones like walnut, chestnut, and oak.
Exceptional, one of those tools that you enjoy using. The ease of changing speeds, adjusting depth, and its stability make it worth 100% of its price.
A very important positive aspect is the drilling capacity, which is 9 centimeters. No other vertical drill in this category has this feature.
Regarding power, I will mention the following: with a 4-centimeter diameter Forstner bit, it drills through any wood I have used. Of course, always using the correct technique for using these bits, meaning slow speed and lubrication with wax (for hard woods). Naturally, with quality bits (I use Wolfcraft, there are clearly much better ones available).
If you are thinking of buying a vertical drill, seriously involved in woodworking and have a limited budget, I would recommend getting this instead of the usual ones in the 150-200€ range. You get back the price difference in much higher quality.
Great accuracy in drilling with a tenth of a millimeter indication during work. Suitable for small to medium-sized constructions. Quite satisfied with the machine so far.
