Description

Remember when power tools were actually powerful? The WEN 12-Inch Variable Speed Drill Press powers through metal, wood, plastic and more, with the ability to drill up to a 5/8-inch hole through heavy-duty, 1-inch-thick cast iron. The mechanical variable speed allows you to target in the exact RPM (from 580 to 3100) for your project with the simple turn of a lever while the digital LED readout displays the current speed. The powerful induction motor features ball bearings for an extended life and balanced performance. The 5/8-inch chuck with MT2 spindle taper gives you versatility with a variety of bits, with on-board chuck key storage for easy organization. The 9-1/2 by 9-1/2-inch cast-iron worktable bevels 45° left and right for those tricky operations. The X-pattern laser shows your drill’s center points, saving on guesswork and sparing expensive materials. The 10 by 16-inch cast iron base features predrilled holes for easy mounting to the benchtop or work surface of your choice while the onboard light keeps your workpieces illuminated for maximum accuracy. And because it’s a WEN product, your drill press comes backed by a two-year warranty, a friendly customer support line, and a stocked inventory of replacement parts. Remember when you could drill with laser precision? Remember WEN.

  • Great Features; Well Built; English Instructions; Well Packed; Includes Needed Special Tools
Size: 6.2-Amp Motor
This "WEN 12-Inch Benchtop Drill Press, 6.2-Amp Variable Speed Motor with Cast Iron Construction, Laser and LED Work Light (DP1263V)" (ASIN B0DQ9F3DX8 ; model DP1263V ; UPC 044459012634) has great features, is very well designed, and clearly has quality fabrication. The shipping box was sufficiently strong to completely protect the 88lb contents, which arrived in perfect condition. (Not all such weighty products are adequate packed.) The included English instructions are fine. Included are the needed special tools. The only tool needed for assembly that was not included was a 5/8" wrench. Assembly took less than 5 minutes. The laser projected bright "X" is easily seen in a well-lit shop, even with the bright LED work light on. The the laser and the LED work light are NOT after-thoughts, but rather both nicely integrated into a protected recessed location in the underside of the drill press head, with separate toggle switches located in protected, but easily reached locations adjacent to the main power switch. The taper-mounted chuck appears to be precisely machined. The LED 4-digit variable speed display is quite bright, easily seen in a well-lit shop. Operation is smooth. I would definitely purchase this Wen drill press again and would definitely do business with Wen again. I strongly recommend both. ... show more

  • Great Performance. Excellent Price.
Size: 6.2-Amp Motor
My husband uses this at least 3 times a week. He builds furniture. He has never complained about it since getting it.for Christmas 2025. Key indicator if you know my husband. He states it is not a machine.to be n used for commercial operations, but very well built and dependable so far. He has around 15 or 20 hours in use so far. No issues. His exact words as a carpenter of 50 years, "It is a damn good tool especially when you look at the price. It is very much worth the money paid. It is sturdy and easy to calibrate for what I need to do. Good buy!" ... show more

  • I do not regret this WEN purchase
Size: 6.2-Amp Motor
I upgraded to this WEN from an ancient Ryobi press. I can’t tell you how nice it is to be able to change the speed via an external control rather than opening the hood and changing belts like I’ve been doing for the past 30 years. Frankly, I don’t know why I waited so long. Overall, this drill is very beefy. I had to buy a new stand for it as it weighs twice as much as my old Ryobi, but that’s OK. I was looking for a larger drill press with a longer mast, and this serves the purpose perfectly. I did change out the keyed chuck for a keyless. And I added a larger table. This drill press is large enough and chunky enough to manage these items effortlessly. For the cost, I think this is one of the best deals out there. I looked at all the other comparable brands before making my choice, and I went for the least expensive, which I was concerned about. But I do not regret my choice. This is a solid well performing drill press. And I’d recommend it to anybody. ... show more

  • Nice press but not square/level
Size: 6.2-Amp Motor
I just received my Wen 12 inch drill. It came packaged in the Wen factory box and well packaged, all parts were included with easy instructions. There was no damaged that I could find at the time and don't expext to. The drill press seems to be well made with sturdy materials and the laser seems to be accurate. It is heavy but a lighter one would probably mean a cheaper and less sturdy one. At that moment I would give this pres a 5 star rating. However as I set it up and started getting use to it I found that the post doesnt sit totally square to the base nore is deck completely level or square to the post. Granted it is not off by much but with my next project I am concerned if it will show up in my finished product. For this reason I have deducted 1 star down to a 4 star rating. I will rry to contact Wen to see if this is normal and if there is any way to square it up or resolve my concern. If I can get this taken care of I will change my rating back to a 5 star. ... show more

  • Smooth Operator
Size: 6.2-Amp Motor
Waited a while before reviewing so that it would be more accurate. Have been using the drill press for 6 months now and really like it! Very smooth operation. Love the speed adjustment (only adjust when the bit is spinning). I like the light and laser on it. I’m now a fan of Wen products and looking to buy more. ... show more

  • Well designed machine
Size: 6.2-Amp Motor
Definitely not flimsy construction. I mounted this heavy drill on a sturdy bench using bolts through the drill base and the bench top to prevent any unwanted movement. This is a very good bench top machine. Besides drilling, I also use it as a drum sander in my wood shop.

  • Perfect for my woodworking shop.
Size: 6.2-Amp Motor
Easy to assemble. The light and laser are a good addition. I’ve cut 3” round holes in an old 2x4 several times and it never bogged down. Plenty of power for my needs in my wood shop. Very pleased with it.

  • Satisfied with the value of my purchase
Size: 6.2-Amp Motor
I'm very pleased with my purchase. Assembly was simple. It's a sturdy machine with a feel of precision. I'm not a machinist and didn't get into measuring runout. It hit the mark and drills precisely enough for my woodworking needs. The laser crosshairs will be a useful feature. My one issue was quickly addressed by Wen. The first time I used the machine it malfunctioned because the double nut on the shaft of the feed handle hadn't been tightened at the factory. The loose nuts allowed the tension spring to unspool with a "bang". I hadn't noticed this loose fit because the nuts are under a rubber cover. I was able to re-tension the spool by following the instruction manual. I thought this may have damaged the spool cover and I was sent a new one but I could see no difference between the parts so haven't swapped it out. The table cranks smoothly and locks in place well. I've never had a table extension before so don't know how useful that might be. I stuck the chuck changing tools to the side of the drillpress head with neodymium magnets. I don't expect to change chucks often, if ever, but figured I'd likely misplace those tools if they were just tossed into a tool drawer. I bolted the machine to a Cammoo mobile welding table found on Amazon and am very pleased with the assembly. ... show more
