New Nova DVR XP

According to Robert Sorby's new catalogue, the Nova DVRXP has replace

the DVR3000 which is said now only to be available on a limited basis On the face of the pictures, the XP seems to have got a fancy new be in a shiny silver as opposed to the dull grey. More interestingly, th motor is stated to have 5 pre-set speeds together with increased torqu at low revs. Despite the colour change, the headstock looks just lik the old one. Wonder if Teknatool will offer an upgrade? Has anyone mor news

Yes, the bed is bigger and stronger - not that I have heard of anyone breaking the old one. The START button gets an instant start - no more checking the body parts before getting going. Five pre-set speeds (four of which you can change to your own preference) that you switch between whether stopped or running with a two button push. Greater total power. A full 2hp on 230 volts. The head looks the same but is now a single casting - can't see that making much difference to the turning. All the old add-ons still fit so changing just the head will surely be an option.

Forgot to say that the price for the DVRXP is £1595 as opposed to £139 for the old model. Also the prices for the stand, bed extension an outrigger attachment have all increased as well

Looks like a standard casting they outsourced, doesn't it? Question is whether the cooling of a Chiwan casting will be consistent and adequate. Had a number of failures of castings on Grizzly equipment in our HS shop, and they were _very_ coarse-grained.

Does the start give a "soft" ramp up, or an instant grab and go? Not that I'm interested in replacing the 3000 head right now, but with the pin chuck, soft start would be nice. I get heavy chunks spinning by hand before switching now, but sometimes I forget.

got some info from Teknatool

circut board upgrades will be available to upgrade older DVRs to the XP controls ($300). Some of the things I've heard is the new boards will give more power to the older DVRs (10%) at low rpm settings and other features such as newer controls.
