Review: Best sub 100 drill press - For me, this is a very good price the build quality is very good and it is a versatile tool because unlike other gel presses in this price range, you can adjust the angle of the drilling. More than 2 inches of drilling would be nice, but you pay for what you get. It’s very nice and heavy cast-iron. And the performance is very good. The five speed function is also nice allowing you to drill through metals I have drilled through steel and as long as you use oil and a decent bit can get through pretty thick material
Review: Perfect for youth group wood shop - Perfect for youth group wood shop. Runs nice and quiet, easy to assemble, seems accurate, a nice budget friendly entry-level drill press with a stop to control depth.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it drill round holes**
A: I only drill square holes with mine.

**Q: Can you rotate the drill press on this unit 90 degrees, so that it hangs off the edge of the workbench, to drill into the ends of  longer pieces of stock?**
A: Yes you can, just be careful when ever you do this.

**Q: What is the maximum width of material you are drilling (from drill center to hitting the pole)?**
A: i think the varied answers come from questions getting sent to people who have purchased different sizes. I noticed some of the reviews are also for other models. This item, the WEN 4208 has an 8-inch swing.  So, you can drill the center of an 8- inch diameter object, or about 4- inches from drill center to body. The WEN 4210 & the WEN 4212 have 10- inch swings.  Anyone trying to drill the center of a 9- inch wheel would need one of these models.  This 4208 is a Great drill for the money.  i like that the head can be swung over the edge of a work bench, which allows for drilling into long stock.  Like into the bottom center of a 36" post.   The beveling work table is another great feature & one i did not have on the press this will replace.  If you have the space, consider the WEN 4214 with 12-Inch swing.  it is still small enough to be bench top, but you can drill the center of 12- inch/ bowls & table tops.

**Q: ease of putting together**
A: It's really easy to put together. Just took me round 5-10 minutes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Temper Your Expectations
*by W***K on September 1, 2024*

I've owned WEN products before, specifically a 10" benchtop model that I sold when moving from Minnesota to Florida. The 10" was utilitarian: it did what it was supposed to do. However it was a bit noisy, and the quality control was a bit off: the holes where the body attached to the base were just a bit out of line and the laser indicator was off by maybe 1/8 inch. Nothing that impacted performance, and that drill press gave me several years of good service at a very reasonable price. I had need of a drill setup something beyond just a hand drill, but compact due to limited space. Checking Amazon it was apparent that a lot of the small and mini-presses were getting mixed reviews at best: battery-powered, not enough oomph for the heavier jobs, etc. The WEN 4208T was not a lot more money than the mini-presses, but had a lot of attributes (much heavier, much more powerful--a solid tool rather than a toy) so I had no reservations about ordering it, figuring that with Amazon's return policy I was risking very little. THE GOOD The press arrived promptly and assembly was a snap. Instructions are provided but are really not needed; however the instructions are specific about wiping off the lubricant that was on the shaft going into the chuck and on the column where the work table attaches before completing assembly. I would make it a point to do that: you don't want things slipping or dropping off during use. The unit is solid. It weighs in at 33 lbs. and with five possible speeds (you move the drive belt from pulley to pulley in order to change the speeds) you're not going to overwork it. I haven't tried drilling metal with it yet but I've drilled 3/4" oak and the unit breezed through it. Once seated, the chuck runs true and there was no discernable wobble with a bit in the chuck, and the press apparatus operates smoothly. The press handles (3) seem a bit small considering the overall mass of the unit, but that will assure you don't overstress things by putting too much pressure on the work. It is QUIET. My other press made quite a racket when running, but this one just hums. It feels--and sounds--like a quality unit. THE NOT SO GOOD During assembly I noted that the entire machinery end of things--press and motor--are attached to the top of the column and held in place with two set screws. Picking the unit up by the motor and transporting it that way could conceivably cause the head to slip off the column and causing the base, column and work table to fall off. I made sure the set screws were tight and also checked them (along with other screws) after operation. Better safe than sorry. The work table, though solid, attaches to the column by a band of metal maybe 4" in width, that just slides up and down the column. You have to loosen it, then slide it up or down to the position that you want, and retighten. My previous press had a geared table with a hand crank that moved the table up or down with much more precision. This one doesn't. You can tilt the table for angled holes, and there is a scale on the back of the table that shows the degree of tilt. However this is again by hand, by guess and by gosh. The scale is quite small: it will give you an idea of the angle but would not be repeatable with any degree of certainty. There is no work light or laser pointer on the unit. THE BOTTOM LINE It is important to remember that this is NOT a precision unit, nor was it designed to be one. Accuracy is not repeatable with any degree of certainty considering how the adjustments are made for table height, angle, etc. But it is solid, apparently dependable, and more than powerful enough for most jobs I'd be asking it to do. Plus, at $99 (which is what I paid) you're shelling out about the same amount of money, maybe even less, than you would for a serviceable hand drill. I'd recommend it. As long as your expectations are realistic.
