In your opinion, how is at875 reverb’s indoor? Especially compared to a longer shotgun? Which one is better?

thanks i have this drill

You are a lifesaver! I have the Synco D1 and I love it. Wanted to see the differences between the 1 and 2, and I won't be switching simply for the option to power the D1 from a battery, since I use it both in-studio on boom arm and on the go for run and gun. BUT I was looking for these specific shock mounts because I want a better one and I couldn't find it to save my life on amazon, but fortunately, you had the mounts in your description. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Here today, gone tomorrow. Can't find that bilt hard on amazon.

It’s so good that a year after this video it’s no longer available.

AT much better

The AT was without a doubt a much better choice. Just fork out the additional $$ and get a much better mic for your work.

Thank you for this! I used rag strips cut from an old sheet so there was less material to soak through and Goo Gone. This method worked like a charm and saved me hours of work.

do you know if i can add the fang mid to a schwinn sidewinder 26 mens? what is my crank size? will the battery fit my rame is rounded and bent up top

I am not able to find it for sale at any of the big box stores or Amazon. Anyone know where it can be purchased?

It would be interesting to see runout numbers on the spindle. I bought a Ridgid DP1500 and it arrived damaged. The motor fan cover was caved in. I was able to remove it and try it, but runout was horrible. The quill was sloppy in the head. I returned it, thinking I'd buy another. It's been out of stock for 2 years, probably discontinued. I don't see the Bilt Hard on AZ right now, but I'll check it out!

Thank you very much for all this information (especially for the capsule which is equivalent to a pencil microphone). I think it's not bad for my classical guitar.

How do you change speeds

Why is there so much static in your audio for this video? Did you use a different, noisier pre-amp. Listen closely between your words. It should be dead silent. But it's not. It's pretty noisy.

Just got the WEN 4214T from Home Depot for $215. Seems this has been the price for a long time. Runout was only 0.0025” on the stock chuck. I couldn’t be happier!

I bought the Wen 4214T back in Oct'23 when it was on sale for $195 thru Amazon. I assembled it, bolted it to the rolling cart my HFT 8" unit used to sit on. The 5A motor pencils out to about 3/4hp. The difference in swing from 4" to 6" is actually a big deal. Running 2" forstner bits or 4" hole saws? No problem. Sanding drums or that absolutely sick chisel sharpening attachment from TayTools? Piece of cake. I have yet to stall it in wood. ...all from the same factory? Go take a seriously hard look at HFT's new Bauer 12" drill press. It's red and black. Only difference I could find between it and my Wen...oh, yeah. Price. The Bauer is close to three Benjamin's...Wen at the $250 point (today per Amazon). So...yeah.

The Synco is cleaner

You need a Marshall tube amp

I take a fresh piece of tape and blot the old adhesive off the rim with the new tape. It pulls the old stuff right off.

I bought the built hard off Amazon a year ago…. I regret buying it more than any other tool I’ve ever purchased. Want to know what I don’t like about it? Everything. Very very disappointed. I only like one thing about it…. The color.

Is D1 running on AA battery or 48 volt power for this test?

Just bought a wen due to this video. VERY happy for the money spent

update your links and also put affiliate links for each make you money

“Not a lot of runout”? “Looks pretty smooth to me”? Subjective assessment is not helpful. Use numbers to quantify margin of error, rather than “looks good to me.” Other details, like if the laser crosshairs are accurate would been helpful. You point out obscure similarities and differences based on pictures, and poor ones at that. Not much help for so many words.

Jesus, you are the most repetitive, not getting to the D point, Ive ever encountered on YT.

IMHO WEN is the go to budget drill press they have a USA Office.wharehouse and sell spare parts for their machines.

The yellow button on the WEN, is a safety pull.

What model are the shock mounts?

I just went to the bill hard website and they didn’t show any drill presses?

If you go up to Wen 12” model it has digital speed read out

What happened to the Bilt Hard? The link you provided isn't any good now and I went to the Bilt Hard website and see nothing about drill presses at all.

This press has worked like a charm for my projects th-cam.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

Terrible waste of time

cool, subscribed!

Thanks, gret review! 4:46 why is it so noisy? I though Synco D2 is one of the best when it comes to noise threshold... Is there any CPU-Fan or Light-fan around you whilre recording?

It is because wen is a 60 year old company who actually makes those other drills. They are made to those brands’ specifications - some spend a little more on this or that, from parts to paint - wen is making it all for them and they are marking it up. They are NOT all the same drill press with different paint and even different paints cost different amounts to make. Anyway, they are the same drill presses at different specifications. The Jet or Rikon may be a bit better than the wen, but in some ways, those are superficial differences. Look at the chucks. There is a difference in each other - each company is having Wen do something special for them, for how they want their press to be, and some of them cost more than others to do. What you are getting most from the higher priced ones is customer service, quick replacements, good technical support etc. The BIGGEST difference between Wen and ALL the companies that hire them to make their tools is going to be the service and warranties associated with the companies. Different business models, different specifications, markups - wen is like buying direct at the lowest price point with hit or miss support should anything go wrong. The other companies, who wen manufactures for them as private labels, you are paying for more than the press and some extra bells and whistles you may or may not need or ever notice. That is the reality - MANY tools and companies are made by Wen. Wen makes a lot of Jet, Shop Fox, Rikon, Grizzly etc. Example, the Wen spindle sander is “the same” as the grizzly one. They are different, though. Not all of the 4 presses you showed have light or laser. It is those differences that account for the price, as well as warranty/customer service and so on.

I really enjoyed the video, just the info I needed in preparation for the corporate interviews, I've got booked all week. Thanks again Affordable Tech Solutions

Bilt Hard no longer available on Amazon.

It seems all bench drill presses including the high-end ones are very loud. Why is that?

I've been looking and the Bilt Hard brand is no longer available.

The saws work fine - the router is a joke. Everything else works fine in the set.

The Black & Decker Matrix and Craftsman Bolt On are compatible because both brands are owned by the same parent company, Stanley.

As long as you don't drop it from a 2nd story, which a Dewalt will take, or put it in a bucket of water like another testing channel does, and don't purposefully over stress the motor, the Matrix will compete with any 20 volt system. parts and support are very good and the batteries are everywhere. There's nothing like it. In particular the reciprocating saw has a unique configuration and after using on the Matrix, it is hard to back to a regularly shaped one.

I would have to see the variable speed mechanism in side of all four in order to make the decision to buy

um uh so um uh you know you know um uh so you know um uh you know you know anyway all this verbal flotsam and then good grief four minutes just to get started blah blah blah get on with it already! be concise, be crisp, be clean, speak with clarity and purpose

Thanks for informative review. What is the lowest rpm and highest on the Bilt Hard drill press? Thanks again

Thanks for the video, would you happen to know the Max Table to Spindle or Chuck distance? thanks in advance

I have to thank you for the review of the built hard 12 inch drill press. I purchased one and because of your review I saved over 400 dollars. Works perfectly for only 180 bucks plus a t- tract set. Again thanks.

Great video man.
