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.

    • If you're thinking about buying an 8", don't. Spend the extra money on this and you won't regret it.
Style: Drill Press
If you're thinking about saving money and buying the 8" WEN press, hold on a minute and take a few things into account that I didn't because I was so blinded by the $118 price tag. I wanted a good small drill press, as I do some guitar work, and also work with electronics, 3D printed models, and various wood projects. I sold my Porter Cable drill press a few years back, but I've found myself needing a drill press again, and my Dremel drill press just wasn't cutting it. The WEN 8" model, with its incredible looks and price, immediately caught my eye and I found myself ordering before I even had a chance to think. The second I opened the box and realized the table was the same size and length to the column as a Dremel press, it became clear I had made a mistake. I couldn't even reach tremolo holes in guitar bodies, so it was essentially useless. After a few more minutes, it became clear it was much more than just size that it was lacking. I did a bit more research, and when I found the 12" model was about $180 more, it wasn't just the added size that hooked me. It also has features that I overlooked on the 8" model because I was so enamored with price tag. I skipped right over the 10" WEN offered and took what I think is an incredible deal at around $300. After assembling, the footprint was only about 4 inches bigger than the 8" model, and fit right into the same spot the 8" would have sat on my table. While taller, I welcome the extra size and heft. Now, here is why you want to spend the extra money and upgrade to this model over the 8", aside from the increased size- 1. Its built FAR better. This isn't just an upsized version of the 8" model. Everything is beefier, and better. The chuck on the 8" model is a basic, small, one piece design that barely sits in the spindle. The 12" features a beefy 2 piece chuck that seats way up into the spindle, ensuring good, straight contact. At 5/8ths you can use larger bits than the 8"'s 1/2 inch chuck. While you might still get some drift, it will be nowhere near what the 8" would have given you, and the "play" is adjustable with a bolt. In fact, several features offer adjustments that the 8" just didn't. Other parts just look and feel sturdier. The depth stop is far more accurate. These things alone are worth the extra money. 2. Speed range and adjustment lever with digital readout. I don't know about you, but I hate having to move belts to change speeds on a drill press, and find myself using an incorrect speed out of laziness when doing quick holes. Here, you just turn the lever and the digital readout tells you what speed you're running at. No popping the top and adjusting a belt. I'm sure the accuracy isn't perfect, but the fact I can get from 580 RPM to 3200 RPM means I can use this press with far more materials and bit sizes than the 8" would have allowed. You also get 3 1/8 inches of spindle travel, so you can drill deeper holes without raising the table, where the 8" model only has 2 inches of travel. 3. Column and table are track adjustable with a lever and handle. Raising and lowering the 8" meant loosening the bolt and catching the table before it dropped, and then having to support it while you try to tighten it to stay at the height you want. Having a track means you can use one hand to raise or lower the table without it dropping straight to the ground. 4. Accessories. Most drill press tables, fences and jigs, whether pre-made or from plans, are made for a 12" drill press. An 8" table is small enough, and then if you add in a fence, you're cutting off another 1-2 inches. Then there's also the little things already included. Having a laser on a tool can be hit or miss. It sounds great on paper, but seldom are they accurate enough to trust. So far, this laser has been pretty accurate, plus, it offers fine adjustment to calibrate. Even if I just use it to ballpark quick holes, I'd much rather have it than not. The work light is an awesome little bonus that makes a big difference. Spend the extra money once, and you won't regret it. If you're on the fence, look at it this way- You're already spending over $100. The second you have a project that needs that extra 4" of reach, or requires a bit more accuracy, you'll wish you had just given in and spent a little more the first time. It won't be fun having to drill a hole by hand when you have an 8" paper weight sitting right next to you on your bench. Thank me later. ... show more

    • I love this drill press
Style: Drill Press
This is the best drill press I've ever owned (and I've owned a few). It is benchtop sized. I use three clamps to hold it in place. It's heavy and sturdy. My favorite feature is the speed adjustment. No belts to move -- just pull the lever to change the bit speed. The speed shows on a digital display. The laser guide is accurate, but difficult to see with larger bits. I would give this drill press a similarly strong review at twice the price. But this one is also affordable. I strongly recommend it for the hobbyist-level user. ... show more

    • Good Value for the Price
Style: Drill Press
This is a good general purpose, light/medium duty drill press. It was easy to assemble and I find it to be well built. I'm now using it in my home woodworking shop. Some reviewers has mentioned what they considered to be excessive chuck run out. That may be a luck of the draw thing, I bought the WEN with intent to upgrade the chuck. To this point however, I find run out to be minimal. Drilling consistent, accurately centered holes is a piece of cake. At some point I'll build, or buy an auxiliary table, but other than that, I feel no need to upgrade anything on the machine. I do have a couple minor quibbles with the machine: First, I wish the motor had bit more power. To be fair though, the only time it's struggled was when I was using a 1.5" Forstner bit to bore into end-grain of well seasoned live oak. Even then, slow and easy did the job and did it well. My other very minor complaint is that I find the variable speed control lever to be overly stiff. It does however, work well and once set, the speed adjustment doesn't drift. I like this drill press. It's proving itself to be the right machine for my workshop. I'm happy. ... show more

    • Impressive!
Style: Drill Press
I bought this during the September '23 sale. I've had for a couple months now in my wood shop. Here are my thoughts. Assembly was straightforward. If you've ever assembled a drill press, you could do this one with your eyes closed (until they bulged open when you lift the power head assembly). Taller than I thought it would be. About 37" from base to top. Not a big deal. Runout. Yeah. I have runout. 0.002". I work wood. Yawn... Table elevation. Ok...I get it. Can be kinda wonky. I mean the table wobbles and moves chunky like. It is the nature of the beast. If you want or need a crank handle for elevation, this is how it is. Get over it. What is important is that once moved to your desired location the table locks rock solid. It does. 'nuff said. The variable speed handle is stiff. Yeah. So? How often do you change speeds anyway? The only time I vary from 1000rpm is to drop down for the big fat forstner bits. So, not an issue here. On the speed range, I find it fits well for wood, but could foresee difficulty if this were meant to be in a metal working shop. In fact, if I were looking for a metal working drill press, I'd likely go with messing around with the belted type of speed control, as opposed to this system. The work light is perfect. I use it most of the time. The laser locator is red, and displays a red X. I don't use it. I've seen some complaints about power. Hmmm. Having graduated from a HFT 8" press, all I can say is this Wen has handled everything I threw at it, including 1 1/2" forstner bits in hard maple. I am quite pleased with power and performance. I've been making sawdust for some 35+ years now. For a bench top drill press in a woodworking shop, this is the cat's meow. Sure...it needs a table and fence. Needed a new cart, as the cart for the 8" press was far too tall...so I made both from 1/2" MDF. I take care of my stuff... don't bang it around...so MDF sealed well with poly will certainly last MY lifetime 😂 All in all...I am tickled to have a fully functional 12" drill press in my shop, and am not embarrassed or ashamed to say my drill press is Wen. ... show more
