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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Great press with convenient features. My only issue is the quill travel is NOT AS ADVERTISED.
I got this variable speed drill press for Christmas. I am a machinist and I use it to make up prototypes and other new idea I have. First, the good. This press was extremely easy to setup. In 20 minutes you can have it all ready to go. The instructions were well written and helpful. The press has a 3/4 hp motor, which is substantial for most projects I work on. The hardest material I've drilled is some 1018 SAE steel, 1/8". It went through just fine with some wax lubricant. The variable speed is really good. Because of the built in led screen on the front, you can see very well your rpm's. As far as I can see it is accurate as well. My press can take from 600rpm up to 3100rpm no problem. It vibrates a touch as you get higher up, but nothing out of the ordinary. It's a quiet machine. The laser sight on it came well calibrated to my table. I didn't even need to touch it, except to install the included battery. I rarely use it, as I prefer to locate using other means. When I have used it though, it is right on point. The action is smooth on the column as well. It isn't difficult to ratchet up and down, which si really convenient. The column stop stops it from moving well, so no worries about your table moving while you drill. Now the bad: This press is advertised as a 10" drill press. To me, that means that I get 10" of travel from the quill. That is not the case. The quill can travel 5" only. The column travels approximately 20". I am not really sure where they get off saying it is a 10" press, but it isn't. That was a disappointment, as 5" of travel can be tough to deal with occasionally. My other concern is the chuck. The accompanied chuck is pretty bad. For light contracting work it is no problem. I work with some tight tolerances, and the chuck tends to loosen up on the drill, or run out of center sometimes. I am planning on replacing it so it isn't a big deal. Again, for work where you don't need to hold tight tolerances it isn't really an issue. Overall, a really good buy. The press is solid, and does what it needs to. The variable speed, led screen, and laser sight are convenient and work very well. The press comes calibrated out of the box for speed and such, and that is a big + in this company's book. I take away 1 star for the 5" vs. 10" argument, which I am really disappointed about; it also comes off for the chuck. I would have given it three without the great calibration and convenient tools on it. The chuck isn't such a big deal, as I didn't expect anything great, and it does the job. The 5" travel when 10" was advertised was the real killer. I would love to hear from the company regarding what the deal with that is. A good press, with strong power. The press really is great for it's price range, and I would buy this over many others. If you're in the market, this is a great buy! ... show more

  • Good value
Size: 5.0-Amp Motor
Great drill press, this beats doing it by hand. Heavy construction, good quality, good size for my small shop. Good adjustability, easy to assemble the small amount of things that need to be put together. As good as many of the name brand units for less money.
