## Description

Remember when power tools were actually powerful? WEN’s 12-inch swing, variable speed drill press with laser centering device, is a powerhouse for your shop. Packed with features that you’ll find in larger more industrial type drill presses. 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 1” 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. No pulleys and belts to change! Our design uses a mechanical variable speed which allows for the same power and torque through the entire speed range. A digital readout powered by LED’s displays the running speed. Constructed with a rigid frame consisting of cast iron: head, table, and base, ensures accurate holes. Its powerful induction motor features ball bearings for an extended life and it all comes together with smooth and balanced performance even at high speeds. The 5/8” 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 consistently. 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. A versatile and valuable tool for any shop especially when you expand its range of use with optional accessories such as mortising attachments, drum sanders, circle cutters, etc. Since 1951, WEN has proudly produced innovative powered tools focused on value delivering meaningful features that will help you complete and enjoy the work as much as the project. Remember when you could drill with laser-precision? Remember WEN.

    How did I live without it??
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on 13 June 2023*

What a GREAT addition to my room full of junk and power tools... This drill press is a BEAST... It's twice the size of my little old SKIL, which you can see in the pictures... The SKIL did a good job for me, but I outgrew it... Once I found out that drill presses with variable speed existed, IT WAS ON!!! I had to have one... No more messing with loosening the motor and sticking my fingers into the belt & pulleys... That had gotten old a long time ago...I've only had it for a few days now... I love it... It'll probably be the last drill press I'll ever need to buy...ACCURACY: Seems to be accurate, as the tip of the drill bit hits right where the lasers cross... I don't have a dial indicator to check the runout, but I'm sure it will serve me just fine... I'm not running a machine shop, and I don't need accuracies down to the thousandths of an inch...EASY TO ASSEMBLE: No, not entirely... But I was doing a couple other things during the process, like drinkin' beer, and helping my buddy with his trailer hitch... The column-to-base bolts call for a 16mm wrench... I bought a whole set of ratchet wrenches a couple years ago, but there was NO 16mm in there... I found a socket to fit, 5/8" I think... The hardest part of the assembly was lifting the head up onto the column... It's quite heavy and unbalanced... A second pair of hands would've been a plus... My trailer hitch buddy had already left...VALUE FOR MONEY: I shopped around 4-5 online sites for 3 weeks, and I kinda felt like I was being "spyed upon"... It seemed to me that they were bidding amongst each other for my money... The prices quoted for this machine on different sites kept fluctuating every couple days... It was truly weird... I think I'm gonna buy a VPN next... But anyway, for all the features this machine has, I think it's worth every bit of what I paid for it... It TOWERS over my old drill press, so I don't have to squat down or sit to use it... It's REAL good looking, like the STAR of my workshop... The table with the extension that swivels and bevels adds ALOT to the package... The swivel feature is kinda messed up, as it relates to that rack gear on the side of the column... The rack gear ends just ride in the top (orange) and bottom collars, and can get bound up if not guided along during swivel... (??Did that come out right??) And, of course, like a kid in a toy store, I had to open the lid on top to watch how the variable speed worked... It's pretty neat...But, the MOST BRILLIANT part of the entire design of the machine is...  ...wait for it... ...you'll never believe it over everything else I mentioned... THE CHUCK KEY itself gets 6 out of 5 stars for it's design... Sticking out from the center of the key is a small pin with a spring behind it... It is IMPOSSIBLE to forget the chuck key and turn the power switch ON... That sprung pin pushes the key out of the chuck... I don't know if this design has been around for a while, as this is the 1st drill press I've bought in a LONG time... This chuck key design should've been implemented on ALL styles of chucks for the last 50 years... ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!YES to "would buy again"... And Again, And Again, if needed... Nice machine for an novice to half-pro environment... It might last in a PRO environment (machine shop) if taken care of... It's really quite the nice machine... Thanx WEN, and Thanx Amazon... GOOD DAY...

    Surprisingly good for the price.
  

*by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on 9 October 2023*

I needed my first drill press, and wanted a larger size at a reasonable price, so I went with the 12in.So far, so good. It is quiteheavy, but I set it up myself. It came with some rust (in photos) out of the box, but I think it isn't structural... I hope. The other problem, though maybe it is natural, is the table lowers in a janky way. It sort of drops one spot at a time, and the bar it raises on is a little loose, but has no obvious way to tighten. Maybe this is natural, so I can't say it is damage without knowing that.Installing the chuck is... odd. It's a pressure fit with a rubber mallet whack, which felt wrong to do, but works. The drill vibrates some, but not too bad. I built my own table, but if you don't have the time, just buy the WEN one. I basically copied their design and used about half of a piece of a 2x4 3/4MDF sheet, and an hour, plus t-bolts and knobs. So, maybe 15-20 dollars of material and an hour of time.The drill press is tall, and I will actually need to take apart the stand I built and chop off some height. I am 6ft, and made my stand at 33in, and it feels too high, so take that into consideration. The laser is a little off, but I am not planning to use it much.Drill bits are, in my opinion, easy to take in/out.All in all, for 230 (after tax), this seems like a really good value so far. Only time will tell with the durability.

Llevo un mes usándolo un par de veces por semana. Es mi primer taladro de banco y estoy más que encantado con él. Recomiendo que al momento de comprarlo ya tengas un lugar asignado para él, ya que es alto y pesado, por lo que no va a ser algo agradable tenerlo que cambiar de lugar contínuamente.Estoy convencido de que no existe otro taladro en el mercado que te de tanto por su precio.
