WEN 4212T 5-Amp 10-Inch Variable Speed Cast Iron Benchtop Drill Press with Laser

El taladro y sus materiales son de buena calidad, lo compre para proyectos caseros. Satisfecho con la compra, solo me gustaría aclarar que el lasser es independiente de la corriente del taladro y este se energiza con un par de pilas, sería mejor que se energizara con la misma corriente del taladro.

My first drill press purchase from Amazon was one somewhat smaller and half the price from a company no one had ever heard of. The usual lesson applied: you get what you pay for. After a few days, I sent it back and ordered this one from Wen. It's excellent -- strong, sturdy, easily adjustable speed with LED readout, laser guide, 10" swing (i.e., 5" clearance from column to bit), gear-crank height adjustment, smooth motor...pretty much all I'd hoped to get with the first purchase. I also have a Wen drill press table that fits nicely and extends the work area to all I'll likely ever need. The assembly and usage instructions were clear -- not perfect English, but honestly, as Chinese company equipment manuals go, it's like Hemingway wrote it. (At one point they advise that you solicit the help of a "friend or trustworthy foe" to move it to its permanent location, which I think was a clever, intentional bit of humor.) Downsides? This is the heaviest bloody piece of woodworking equipment I've ever owned. It is absolutely *not* portable unless you plan to use it on a much smaller planet. Despite the weight, you still must clamp it, else it will walk a little as you do a lot of drilling. Bit vertical travel distance could be a little greater, considering its size. It arrived with a hefty dent on the very top panel, but it's just cosmetic and I can live with it. That's honestly about it. Very happy with the purchase.

For the money this is a hands down winner! I added a table and a keyless chuck and now this is a sweet drill press to work with. With one lever I can speed up or slow down the RPM which has a digital display on front, plus it has a laser showing exactly where the drill bit point will start. Very happy with this drill press.

Me gusta que tiene una pantalla que marca las revoluciones a las que trabaja y que tiene una palanca para cambiar velocidades sin tener que mover la banda para cambiarla de poleas, me gusta su solidez

Nice drill press. Did not last long. Found the problem through Wen. Blew compressed air in the motor and removed dust off brushes. Working fine.
