Guede GTB 16/500 Vario bench drill machine - My new drill press

So, here is the answer some of my viewers asked me about. The question was: What did I replace my previous Bosch PBD 40 with? And the answer is that it is the Guede GTB 16/500 Vario. Finally, here is a short video about it. Note that this is my initial impression, not a final verdict.

I waited for quite a long time to publish this video because I was in a conflicting conversation with the seller, a Danish web shop https://skapadinverkstad.se/shop/fron... and I did not want to publish the video before I was certain about how the conversations will end. The conflict was about the quality of this machine, and I wanted to give the company and Guede a chance to solve the problems, take the machine back or give me some financial compensation for all the hours I spend in diagnosing, making evidence videos on their request, and trying to fix the problems. Unfortunately, the last answer I received was that "this is normal", which basically means that the quality is poor, definitely not worth the money. Also, the seller, skapadinverkstad.se, refused to follow the EU consumer rights laws, and refused to take back the machine, they blamed Guede and claimed that since this is normal, there is nothing wrong with the machine. But more about that in my next video.

Nevertheless, due to my experience with this machine so far, and the communications with Guede and skapadinverkstad.se, I will definitely not buy another Guede product ever again, and also will definitely not buy anything at all from skapadinverkstad.se ever again. In my opinion, they should be avoided because the service and the quality is really poor.
