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 1/2-inch hole through heavy-duty, 1-inch-thick cast iron. The mechanical variable speed allows you to dial in the exact RPM (from 530 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 1/2-inch chuck with JT33 spindle taper gives you versatility with a variety of bits, with on-board chuck key storage for easy organization. The 8 by 7.5-inch cast-iron worktable bevels 45° left and right for those tricky operations. The X-pattern of the Class IIIA 2.5mW laser shows your drill’s center points, saving on guesswork and sparing expensive materials. The 8 by 12.5-inch cast iron base features predrilled holes for easy mounting to the benchtop or work surface of your choice. 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.

  • It's just what I need for weekend warrior stuff . . .
Size: 5.0-Amp Motor
PRO: 1. Affordable. 2. Works as advertised and as shown in the pictures, (Look at the pictures). 3. Fast, like really, really, really, fast. I crank it down for average use. 4. Get for countertop height use. 5. Comes complete. CON: 1. The laser is a bit gimmicky. 2. The base is just barely large enough to keep this from falling over. 3. Battery compartment for laser is hard to reach and I may wire a new battery box in another location. 4. Instruction manual is in black and white, and the pictures are useless for the most part, black lines on black image. lolz. OTHER: 1. White lithium grease is your friend. 2. Grease everything, I mean, every screw, thread, shank, bolt, etc. you will thank me later. 3. BUY if you want an affordable benchtop drill press, that works, and is SUPER FAST. 4. DON'T BUY if you are expecting a top of the line drill press, if that is what you are looking for, spend more money. ... show more

  • Not Truly Excellent, But Still, 5 Stars
Size: 5.0-Amp Motor
4212T Out of the box review. I had to put my very much used, 45-year-old Shopsmith to rest. There are so many things this drill press cannot do compared to the Shopsmith, but for the price, and given that it is not a commercial machine, it gets 5 Stars out of the box. First, it came via some yet known shipper. No name on the shipping label, and it had a lithium battery label??? But heck, it arrived in two days as promised. Price and Features were the menu. Using this for woodworking, so I just gotta have: - Variable speed. - Laser centering. - Easy/accurate dial depth adjustment. Easy enough to assemble, but some goofy stuff in the manual. Read twice, or even three times. Overall well-made, but some lack of attention to details. Such as, the tachometer readout is mounted crooked. Will report back in a few months. So far, so good. ... show more

  • Pretty good for the price.
Size: 6.2-Amp Motor
Not bad but does need some upgrades. A work light would be nice and I added a keyless chuck. Could be more quiet, it’s fairly noisy. Definitely not top quality but will work fine for hobbies and small jobs.

  • Excellent piece of equipment for a home workshop
Size: 5.0-Amp Motor
My first drill press purchase from Amazon was one somewhat smaller and half the price from a company no one had ever heard of. The usual lesson applied: you get what you pay for. After a few days, I sent it back and ordered this one from Wen. It's excellent -- strong, sturdy, easily adjustable speed with LED readout, laser guide, 10" swing (i.e., 5" clearance from column to bit), gear-crank height adjustment, smooth motor...pretty much all I'd hoped to get with the first purchase. I also have a Wen drill press table that fits nicely and extends the work area to all I'll likely ever need. The assembly and usage instructions were clear -- not perfect English, but honestly, as Chinese company equipment manuals go, it's like Hemingway wrote it. (At one point they advise that you solicit the help of a "friend or trustworthy foe" to move it to its permanent location, which I think was a clever, intentional bit of humor.) Downsides? This is the heaviest bloody piece of woodworking equipment I've ever owned. It is absolutely *not* portable unless you plan to use it on a much smaller planet. Despite the weight, you still must clamp it, else it will walk a little as you do a lot of drilling. Bit vertical travel distance could be a little greater, considering its size. It arrived with a hefty dent on the very top panel, but it's just cosmetic and I can live with it. That's honestly about it. Very happy with the purchase. ... show more

  • Superb Drill Press!!!
Size: 5.0-Amp Motor
This drill press is as close to perfection as possible. There is zero detectable wobble or movement in the spindle, a requirement for precise work. The design is not only precise, but exceptionally robust as well. The infinitely variable speed is accomplished with changes to the pulley diameter, not electronically, so that maximum torque is maintained throughout the entire speed range. Simply stated, there is nothing to complain about this product. As a test, I drilled a 1mm hole at 1000 rpms into a hardened stainless steel dipstick using a cobalt bit. The bit never wondered, warped or wobbled vindicating my observation of zero play in the spindle mechanism. This drill press is FAR better than my old Craftsman. ... show more
