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.

    • 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

    • Not much use out of it . Corrected the problem.

Nice drill press. Did not last long. Found the problem through Wen. Blew compressed air in the motor and removed dust off brushes. Working fine.

    • Decent Drill Press for most things
Size: 5.0-Amp Motor
I've been using this drill press now for a few months and, although it's an inexpensive tool, it does the job for the most part. When it arrived, the top portion was a little crooked and the fit and finish could use a lot of improvement but it's mostly a decent machine if your expectations aren't super high. For the budget conscious hobbiest, this Wen drill press will work. ... show more

    • 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

    • A nice drill press for the home workshop.
Size: 5.0-Amp Motor
I bought this drill press, along with the WEN DPA2513 24x12 Drill Press Table, to go in my home workshop. My first impression was: for its price, it's a large drill press. It's 34" tall and weighs around 60 lbs. It also arrives unassembled, so be prepared to spend a while putting it together. It wasn't difficult to assemble, but I thought the instructions could have been a bit better... Once assembled, I went ahead and built a small workbench on which to permanently mount it. It has proven itself to be quite useful. It's easy to use and works great. I'm actually a bit surprised at how often I find myself going to it. For me, it was a really good deal for the price. ... show more

    • Manufacturer has no Quality Control
Size: 5.0-Amp Motor
Granted I knew when purchasing this press it was from China and expected issues. Boy they didn't disappoint. Opening the box all was packages really well with I exception. The way the wrapped the power cord around the unit and laid it in the box the cord seems to experience some smashing and as such there are 3-4 areas where you can see the red wire showing. Nothing seemed to be knicked or broke so as a safety precaution unused my multi meter to check for shorts before plugging it in. I laid the head unit on my bench, plugged it in and turned it on to see if it worked as I figured if it didn't work no sense in going through the entire assembly only to find out it didn't work then have to tear it down, box it up and return it. With that out of the way I began assembly. The instructions I received with this unit seemed to have been printed off someone's computer as the resolution was so dark and images were "smugey" looking. Luckily I have experience putting these things together in the past. The locking set screws used in this press I feel should be a bit beefier as the ones they have, especially the one for the table up and down crank, seem a flimsy and small. The handle on the table lift crank is plastic, seems to have been 3D printed due to the type of plastic and is held into place using a very small set screw. It has a tendency to "slip" if you do not completely loosen the lock which has a metal handle. To remedy this I have an old small metal crank handle I will machine to fit and when warranty runs out i will drill and tap the worm gear shaft to accept a bolt and use a bolt to secure the handle. Speaking of the worm gear..... This unit the gear that rides on the slotted "tree" really has way to much slack/play as when I went to install the table it would not grab the rod and kept popping off. So to remedy this I removed the bar from the tube, slid it into the the table about 4 notches past the end, while holding the table and shaft in place with one hand I lowered the unit onto the tube and slid it down into place. Once in place I put the locking collar on and secure it with the set screw. Now after doing that I noticed there to be quite a bit of side to side play and no way of adjusting it to make it solid. I noticed that once you secure the lock on the back of the table it becomes solid so be sure prior to drilling you have the locked tightened fully or table can move out of alignment. To fix this they would need to make a small knotch at the base for the table rise/lowering shaft to sit in and a beefier set screw up too to secure it. The base seems a bit to small and light for this too heavy unit and seems to be able to tip over easily if not secured to a table/bench in some way. (I built a rolling stand for this one and used bolts to secure it.) The laser didn't need any adjustments as it was spot on. The light, oh yeah,,,there isn't one. The speed level works well. The drill works well. Now the paint (or lack of) is where the lack of Quality Control shows. The head unit is cast iron and none of the casting edges were ground down prior to paint, to which the entire unit seems to only have 1 coat of paint on it as you can see bare metal showing through along edges and the rough spots. My plan is to repaint it after warranty is up or unless it starts showing signs of rust as I live in a very humid area. As I stated in the beginning, I wasn't expecting high quality in a $180 drill press so the cosmetics doesn't really interfere with the performance and as such for what I paid it seems to be a good deal. Just be aware that when you purchase one be prepared to figure out how to asbme as the instructions are lacking (or at least the ones I received with mine were) and be sure to wear gloves when handling the table and base as those edges unless you file them down can cut you. ... 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.
