## 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.

Review: This is excellent and well worth the price. It’s major, too — bigger than it seems in the product photos, and heavy because of all that cast iron. That’s OK, heavy is good because it stays put (you still bolt it down) and the mass soaks up vibrations. Honestly, this machine is overbuilt to the point of being brutal but it’s still very precise. The chuck comes in a separate box in case you want to order the keyless kind separately and then just whang that into place instead. But I stuck with the supplied old-school keyed chuck because I’m old-school too. The machine has a handy place to park the key. Or you can slap a magnet on the top front as I did; it’s handier. Either way, you don’t want to put a chuck key down. Those things sprout feet when you’re not looking. The speed control is a real blessing; you can get the speed low enough for metal or high enough for whatever, without fussing with belts. There’s always plenty of torque. The work light is bright and the crossed lasers are accurate. The whole thing, assembled, weighs 85 pounds but the components can be heaved into place and bolted on one at a time. But if you want to put it together yourself, be warned that you have to start at the base and work upward; the top power head goes on last and is at least 30 pounds heavy with a high lift-over. So you might need to dragoon somebody to come help you assemble it.
Review: I am a beginner and needed something small for my workshop. It works great and was super easy to set up. Controls are easy and so far has done what I have needed. I bought mainly for forstner bits but have tried most bits and haven’t had an issue. This is my first Wen machine and I am impressed at this price point.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What’s the difference between 4214 and 4214T?**
A: the 4214 is described as having 50 speeds and the 4214T is listed as having 20 speeds. never found a reason for the difference.

**Q: how much does this item weight including the package?**
A: Not sure of exact weight.. but pretty heavy..delivered by Amazon box truck with lift gate

**Q: Any difference between the standard and “2021” models?**
A: Mostly the box and the color

**Q: Has anyone tried drilling through 1/2" cold rolled steel with this drill press? Not a good idea?? thanks**
A: I've drilled 1/4" steel plate and with enough time and patience you should be able to get a decent result. Obviously an excellent bit (carbide, cobalt, etc.), lubricant and slow speed. I found the drill press adequate at its lowest speed. Wouldn't rely on it if you have a production run though...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by C***. 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...
