Product Information
Full details
The Holzmann SB162VNANO is a high-precision drill press engineered for hobbyists and professional workshop users who require reliable performance across both wood and metal projects. Its standout feature is the Vario gearbox, which allows for instant speed adjustments without the hassle of manual belt changes, significantly improving workflow efficiency. While this machine offers exceptional control and accuracy through its integrated laser and lighting, it is a desktop-mounted unit that requires a sturdy, level surface to maintain its precision under heavier load.

FAQs
Does this drill press require belt changes?
No, the SB162VNANO uses a Vario gearbox system that allows you to change speeds with a lever, eliminating the need for manual belt adjustments.
Can I use this for metalworking?
Yes, it is designed to handle both wood and metal, provided you use the appropriate drill speeds and bits for the material.
Is the work light battery-powered?
No, the integrated LED work light is powered directly by the drill press's main power supply.
What is the primary benefit of the laser guide?
The laser provides a visual crosshair on the workpiece, allowing for precise centering before the drill bit makes contact.
Does it come with a chuck key?
Yes, a standard chuck key is included for secure bit tightening.
Troubleshooting
Laser alignment seems off
Check the laser adjustment screws located on the housing and recalibrate against a test hole drilled at the minimum depth.
Speed adjustment lever is stiff
Clean any debris from the lever mechanism and apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot point.
Inaccurate drilling depth
Verify that the depth stop lock nut is fully tightened before starting the drilling sequence.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal precision, securely bolt the base of the SB162VNANO to a vibration-free, flat workbench using high-quality mounting hardware. Periodically inspect the variable speed lever linkage to ensure it moves smoothly. Keep the quill clean and lightly lubricated with a machine oil to prevent sticking or friction. When changing bits, ensure the chuck is fully tightened using the provided key. After drilling metal, clear away all fine metallic shavings from the base and table to prevent surface corrosion and to ensure your workpiece always sits flat.
