2.3-Amp 8-Inch 5-Speed Cast Iron Benchtop Drill Press (4206T)

Need to return due to faulty motor. It gets very hot after 20sec of running without load , even without the belt. Theres no resistance when turn the spindle with hand . If I would keep running it would definitely burned. Maybe better luck next time :)

كالعادة منتجات wen ذات سعر ممتاز مقابل جودة رائعة .. الجهاز متين ومصنوع من خامات قوية ويعمل بشكل رائع .. نصيحة للسعوديين منتجات wen تأتي من امريكا بكهرباء ١١٠ وبالتالي تشغيلها بشكل مباشر سيتسبب في احتراق المحرك لهذا السبب يجب توصيلها بمحول كهربائي قبل تشغيلها

Todavía no lo eh usado mucho pero ha trabajado bien

Originally I did not want something this big or expensive. I want to drill through 15mm square tubing and thin steel plate. But as looked at reviews of smaller hobby drill presses for crafting perhaps or the ones that looked like a 1/2' drill built into a drill press frame, I came to realize that they all operate at a high rpm and the one that looks like the vertical 1/2" drill is quite noisy. So I reluctantly purchased this larger unit. It is built like a traditional drill press with a pully system for changing speeds. One notable plus; the substantial chuck is not quite full size and easily grips small drill bits, better that some hand drills that I have owned. Another big plus is that the drill is very, very quiet and smooth. Things I did not know before purchasing: very fine steel wool is needed to prep the tapered chuck before it is hammered into place (not a big deal). The drill press should be bolted down. For my uses I setup my Work-Mate on the balcony and have drilled a couple of holes in it to better suit the 1/2' bolts used to hold it down. Also, the drill press vise that was included with my unit at a price lower than the regular price of the drill, also needs to be bolted to the drill press' table. So I purchased the necessary bolts, nuts, washers to do all this, and now the whole setup for this takes 5 minutes. Up until now, I've used it for the purposes stated above, but today I gave it a bigger challenge: cutting ten 5/32" holes in 1/2" and 5/8" mild steel plates. I used a dab of cutting paste to lube the drill bit a couple of times for each hole. The cutting was easy and accurate, and the drill bit was cutting just as easy on the last hole as the first. I used the recommended pulley setup for this, 750 rpm. I bet the systems that operate at several times that speed would overheat the drill bits and themselves.....

Bought this on Black Friday really cheap. I figured for the price, why not? It arrived and was quite a bit smaller than I imagined. It really is a hobbyist tool. A bit small for woodworking, but I've been able to get everything done I wanted to with it. Given the small shop I have, I'm OK with the size, but probably would've sized up if I realized just how small this was. That being said, the quality of this thing is really surprising given the price. Nothing is cheaply made and I really do think it will last and perform well for a long time. Don't hesitate to buy a WEN if you're wanting a quality tool at a really good price.

It doesn't woth the price
