Harvey Tools is launching a new “Intelligent Drill Press,” which they’ve decided to call “Sniper.”
The new Harvey Sniper drill press is described as a “next generation drilling solution designed to transform how precision hole-making is performed.”
It features an “AI powered targeting system” that uses “advanced sensors, smart positioning algorithms, and intelligent control systems.”
Harvey says the new smart drill press is “suitable for small shops and advanced hobbyists.”
They add that “no existing product on the market combines these features in a standalone drill press form factor.”
Harvey also recently launched an “Intelligent” band saw – Harvey Launched a Smarter Woodworking Bandsaw.
It's not exactly clear what you get with “AI powered targeting” or “smart targeting,” but this is just the latest “smart” drill press.
Laguna launched one a few months ago – see Laguna Launched a Modern Drill Press – and Nova has one too (we bought one a few years ago).
We don’t know much more about the Harvey Tools Sniper drill press, model SD-20. They've hyped up its smartness and AI features, but so far they haven’t actually said much about what it can do or how.
