About This Product

Remember when power tools were actually powerful. WEN's 12 in. Variable Speed Drill Press is a powerhouse for your shop. This bench-top, cast iron drill press has the power to drill through metal, wood and other materials. Max drill capacity is 5/8 in. and 1 in. thick cast iron. The variable speed feature allows you to target in the exact speed (infinitely from 580-3200 RPM) that works for your project. While you are working you simply move a lever and adjust the speed as needed without touching any pulleys or belts. A digital readout powered by LED lights displays the running speed. Rigid frame cast iron construction ensures accurate holes and prevents wobbling and walking during operation. Our powerful induction motor features ball bearings for an extended life and smooth and balanced performance even at high speeds. The 5/8 in. chuck with MT2 spindle taper gives you versatility with a variety of bits and features on-board chuck key storage, so you never have to hunt around for it. Worktable bevels 45° left and right for those tricky operations for the perfect right angles. Base has predrilled holes for mounting onto a bench or work stand. Slotted table allows for mounting clamps and vises for effective mounting. The X-pattern laser locks-on to your drill points saving on guesswork and sparing expensive materials. Remember when you could drill with laser precision. Remember WEN.

Good till for the money, but should come with better handle knobs
For the money this has turned out to be a good tool for the price… but I do have a couple of complaints. Another reviewer complained about the last alignment but those are easily adjusted using an Allen wrench as described in the manual. You do need to tweak them at times after changes of the table height, but that’s easy to do… just lightly drill a tiny reference dot with a small bit then move the lasers to intersect that (see photo). The only two complaints I have are: 1) The chuck easily rusts unless you keep a rust inhibitor on it, and 2) The three knobs on the handle are cheap crap that crack when tightened at all. I’ve replaced these with robust Bakelite knobs with brass inserts (⅜” 26 TPI) for less than $10. They should provide those from the factory! You will want to bolt it down for sure. I haven’t seen any problems with runout or wobble in my use cases. Motor seems strong enough but usually my max use case is ¼” steel plate.

    Just needs a little setup
    Honestly, I was going to hit this thing for some stuff I didn't like and then I remembered what I paid for it and realized it's a deal. The table vertical adjustment is clunky, the pull out table extension is just junk, and the retracting of the chuck would get stuck. So, I cleaned and put some premium grease on the vertical adjustment gears, took off the extension table and installed my Wen table with fence (had for years and highly recommend), cleaned the nasty gunk grease of the spindle and put on clean grease. Then it was a champ... I tried drilling wood, drilling metal, huge forstner bit and it was smooth and powerful. It's not a Jet but it also didn't cost 4 times as much, it just needs a little post warehouse TLC.

      WEN 12 inch drill press is great especially considering the price
      I needed to invest on a drill press and my intended usage was occasional as I am mostly into hand tool woodworking. So, I was looking at a budget option but at the same time I don't like investing in very low quality products. Drill presses can get quite expensive and I came across very good reviews for this product. So, especially at the price point, this is an awesome drill press. Build quality seems pretty strong. Nice features. 2 year warranty does give me a lot of confidence. More than adequate power for my needs and drills accurately. Home depot had a very good pricing and the delivery was quick(just 1 day!) and free. 90 day return policy by Home Depot is awesome and gives a lot of confidence. By the way, I also invested in the WEN drill press table as it was very inexpensive and would have cost me more if I had built one myself. This is especially helpful for woodworking.

        This drill is heavy duty. It is sturdy and well built. There is very little vibration. I also found it simple to set up. I am very happy with the value of the purchase.
        by
        Good product only one issue. Instructions say to bolt it down with heavy duty bolts to bench top. Did this and since the base is hollow and thin on the sides, it easily cracked when tightened. You may want to shim with wood before tightening base to bench or yours will crack too.

        The drill was easy to assemble and instructions were not needed.

        Needed tuning but is tunable.
        I bought this from Home Depot because I like the 90 day return policy, even though it was cheaper elsewhere. After initial assembly the runout was .006”, so I started searching other reviews. Fortunately, I found the attached instructions and ended with a .001” accuracy. I love the laser, light speed control and readout and am slowly figuring out the depth gauge. I have not used it a lot yet but it seems to have lots of power for what I do.

          Wen 4214 T 12 inch drill press with laser centering beam.
          The machine was well packed in an undamaged carton, complete with all parts and an easy to understand instruction manual. The fit and finish is far better than I expected, with a flat table that adjusts easily. The laser centering was dead on target with no adjustments required, and the speed control required only a slight loosening of the fastening nut to work smoothly and accurately. I also purchased the Wen drill press table which was complete, undamaged and is a very nice addition to the efficiency and ease of operation of the drill press. I am a hobbyist and I manufacture furniture and art pieces. I believe this tool is a fine upgrade from my previous 15 year old HF drill press. Everything about it suggests acceptable quality control and some creative thought in the design features. It may not have all the power one might need for constant production work, but i would not be surprised if it would be adequate for that too. It is an excellent buy in my opinion. The machine noise and vibration is minimal and the variable speeds without having to manually change belts/pullys is just great! If something negative occurs I will amend this review. Have fun!
