I put my drill together today watching your video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks.
Good job, slow and thorough
Thank you Craig.
I love it! "Makin' Chips"! I worked in a production shop for a number of years and "Makin' Chips" was your productive time. Haven't heard that since I retired. 🙂💯
Thanks Ted, thanks for watching the video.
Than you for the great video. I just purchased this drill press, so I'll be assembling it this weekend.
You're welcome. Glad to hear I could help you out. enjoy your neutral press.
Literally found your video because I could not get over how many turns it was taking to tighten the table's locking handle and I felt like mine was broken. I guess I'll just keep tightening, but it felt unlikely that I was going to be able to squeeze steel together to tighten this enough. 😂
Hey Frank, I hope you got it to tighten up. Thanks for watching.
Go in the other side and screw down. I was having the same issue until I went in the other hole and it tightened quick.
I just got one and I am putting together. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome, thanks for watching.
GREAT video Sir, thank you for taking the time to do it and share it, I am looking forward to getting one someday, stay healthy and safe out there!
Thank you @EasyLiving8, I really appreciate it. You stay healthy and safe as well.
I have the 10" model - used off Craigslist but in new condition. I haven't compared drill presses but in my limited opinion, the WEN and others like it are good for hobbyists. I would suggest you don't use a bubble level to check the table level. If your workbench is slightly off level, your table won't be perpendicular to the drill bit. Use a small speed square to check the table against a drill bit in the chuck.
Great tip Dan, I am aware of the problems that floor and bench tops not being level can cause I believe I did use a square to make sure that the drill bit was perpendicular to the table because I didn't want my holes going in at an angle. Thanks for watching the the video. Please please feel free to share more tips if you have them you seem to have the technical knowledge that a lot of woodworkers would love to hear about.
I’ve had the same drill press for a while, you want be disappointed. Great value
Great minds think alike thanks for watching the video.
Great minds think alike thanks for watching the video.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
You got yourself a nice drill press, very nice presentation too.
Thank you
Thanks for the demo, I think I will buy this one over the basic 8” model.
You're welcome. I really like it, more than enough for my shop. Thanks for watching.
Very nice! I bet you're excited to use it
Thanks yes I am so much more I can do
Thanks for sharing! I got mine on the way
You're welcome. Cool man👍🏿 I think you'll like it..
I really like this Chanel. Keep it up
Thanks Mike.
I just got one myself. Surprised by the quality. The laser was dead on our of the box and I'm impressed with it overall so far. I got the table to go with mine and again surprised by the quality for the money. Great video
I'm very happy with mine too I'm glad you like it I think it's a good deal for the money. Thanks for the comment
Straight to the point THANK
You are welcome, thanks for watching the video. 😊
Cool tool! Maybe you could do a follow-up video in six months or a year to let us know how you like it.
Thanks yeah I consider doing that good suggestion.
I must be doing something wrong. I tightened those locking bolts as far as I could, and the table still spins freely, and the table assembly still rotates freely around the main shaft.
That sounds like you have some defective bolts with not enough threads or the clamping part is oversized just enough to not tighten up on the shaft like it's supposed to. Sorry to hear this. They owe you a new one I'd say.
@@WoodShopStop Thanks for replying, and great video! As it turns out, it was operator error; I was threading the bolts through in the wrong direction. I fixed that, and now it works exactly like it should.
Thanks so much for the video. I ordered one and it’s due to arrive soon. This video will help me make sure I don’t miss a step setting up during my excitement. I see this video is a year old. Are you happy with the drill press?
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that it should help with the assembly. I'm very happy with this drill press I think for the price point it's robust enough for the things that I do. Thanks for watching the video and the comment.
I have been looking around for a bench press too and I will go with Wen 4214T. There is another model of 4214 without the T and I believe the one with the T is newer model.
I'm real happy with mine. Thanks for watching and the comment.
yes the 4214t is the 2021 model
Why is the model without the T priced at $400 Plus and the model with the letter T is priced at $281? Does anyone know? And thank you for a great video.
@@marwanmorcos3970 I just bought the 4214 (no T) direct from WEN for $240 free shipping. The mfg date is apparently 8/21. To complicate things further, there is the Jet JWDP-12 currently selling for $585 which appears to be the same drill press painted white.
I bought the 4214T last Christmas for $300 from HD. Now they list the 4214 for $292 and the 4214T for $251. I’m not happy about this. However, I did get to the bottom of the whole “what’s the difference” question:
Apparently, Wen added the T when they put new packaging in place. It was a way to “T”rack the effectiveness for QA. The drills are EXACTLY the same. I believe they have since removed the “T” and are continuing with the 4214. Retailers like HD are using this as way to run a promo to get rid of their older inventory.
Hey, there. I picked this same drill press up but then spent a few weeks building a simple workbench for it.
I got to where I was ready to secure the drill press to the workbench surface and noticed the drill press manual does not provide any specs for securing bolt and washer hardware.
I was curious if you might post that ~1 year follow-up review you alluded to possibly doing in other comments on the press.
Maybe you could go into what you used for hardware securing the press along with where it came to live in your shop. (Did you end up moving it for various reasons, etc.) if you made something like that and linked out to it from this original video I bet it would be helpful to others following your pathway.
Anyhow, I’ve watched this video a few times before and during the assembly of this product and was appreciative you took the time to narrate it all and share it here. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Hey Superpolymath, thanks for your comments and watching the video sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I've been on vacation we were out of town I was just on the go so much I didn't have time to get back to any anyone. But I really appreciate your comments and you watching the video. I'm about to post a video to show you a little update on the 12-in drill press I hope this informs you and others as well. I haven't used that drill press much lately but I plan on getting busy here in the next few months with some projects so I'm looking forward to that and I'm sure the drill press will be ready to respond to the call. Thanks again and have a good one.
Hey there, you're welcome. Glad you got some time away, and no worries about the delay. I look forward to the review, maybe preview of projects ahead you think you might use it with. Hope you have a great autumn.
Anyone ever drill through 1/4" steel plate?..and how does the Wen perform?
It should handle it fine 1/4 in. isn't that thick. Be sure to use a Cobalt material drill or carbide if you have access to it. You want to use short pecking strokes, clearing the chips during the process while using a lubricant, three in one oil will work just to be sure your drill bit doesn't get too hot. Thanks for watching the video good luck.
How has it been for forstner bits? That will be my main use.
Works great. Thanks
