I have looked at several videos on the Wen drill press and yours is by far the best. Clear, concise, thorough, and professional, and you come across as a really nice guy! Thanks so much for taking the time to put this up.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed my video.
Short and sweet and very detailed. Best one out there. Thanks made my setup easy.
Thank you so much for this video. I just bought the 4212 and ws catching it with the worm until I found your video. You know how we hate to read the instructions LOL. Everything went fine after seeing you assemble it and making the adjustments. The laser was dead on but had to level the shelf. Once again, thank you so much
Wow! Just got this thing, and was so happy 2 find such a thorough video. Really helps all of us out here so much. Thank u!
EXCELLENT video. Got all the important points without wasting time. One minor point: There are TWO setscrews holding the head, not one. The second one is higher up the head.
Great video! I assembled this yesterday now with your video I’ll calibrate it. Thanks!!
Thanks a lot for posting this very helpful video! I know a lot of people have this drill press and this will certainly help with us visual learners.
Exact!y the info I was seeking before getting my first drill press, will be looking into other vids, tyvm
Very nicely done sir 👍👍 I've been looking at this one for a while now and I'm hoping to get it soon. I'm sure I'll refer back to your video when I get ready to set it up. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and videos Rodney
Great video, just what I was looking for! Subscribed.
Very nice review and thorough explanation. Thank you!
Great video!! Thank you, it was a huge help!
Thanks - this was very helpful!
Great video I been looking for some kind of video like yours great explanation thx👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent job. Thank you.
Great review! Thank you!
Great video. It made my setup a lot easier. Thanks!
I am new to bench top tools and have tried to find good basic videos like this for months. This is the best I’ve found. Great job. I sure hope you’ve done other videos like this for other tools
Very helpful, thanks!
Very nice, clear and concise video. Well done sir.
Great video. I have watched many of these videos to learn how to assemble my PORTER CABLE drill press and I must say this is the best one I have found. Thanks for the help, and I now wish had bought the Wen instead of Porter Cable.
I mounted it to the table with the two back holes and use the slots to mount a cross vise as needed. Nice instructional video for the novice type owner of this drill press. I came for the laughs, I see plenty of what end up being "How Not To" videos on TH-cam and darn if this wasn't actually a really good video.
- Great review. Very helpful.
Thanks for the well documented assembly instructions. The instructions that come with the unit make good paper airplanes, otherwise, they're useless. :)
The video was very helpful. Thank you.
I just want to thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video. You made my life a lot easier and I really appreciate it thank you very much
You are welcome glad to help!
Great job on the review I have watch a lot of reviews on this and you are the first one to talk about the led light. I didn't even know it had one.
I'm glad you enjoyed my video
Great instruction!
Fantastic. Definitely a great video. In fact, so good I won't do one of my own. I just received and assembled this drill press yesterday. Thanks to this video, I took my drill press out of the box and put it together. This was a great 14 minute manual. I learned one other trick and that was to put the power cord first , then the cord to the switch over the top of the motor hinge out of the way. This is a great tool and 741 you did a great job.
Thanks!
Nice review, I'm sold, nice and thorough. I'm gonna get one tomorrow, got a job coming up. Thanks
A whole lot nicer that what I have. The laser pointer is a nice touch.
That's a nice press for the money. I like the throw and adjustable table gear system
I've needed a drill press for a long time...this one should work out well.
@ SevenFortyOne, This is a really good video demonstration. Good video and very good audio. You came through loud and clear. Also very clear explanations and camera work for everything. You did a great job. Please keep this method of demonstrating because it's clear what you are doing as are your explanations. Thanks for putting this up.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
I've seen many drill press videos; I work on presses. You are one of the very few who cleaned the taper in the chuck and the arbor with a solvent. Nice to see someone doing this correctly.
I just got one of these. It comes Monday. What solvent is best for cleaning the grease? I have some mineral spirits. Would that work?
@@stevenfisher1572 Yes, mineral spirits are fine. Personally, I prefer to use 91% alcohol from the drug store. If you choose that route, make sure the alcohol has no lanolin added. Good luck.
Nice video and explanation. I totally respect the skills. Thank's !?
Thank you...I'm glad you liked my video!
Thank You Very Much...
Used Your video/instructions to put My drill press together...
Glad this helped!
Hi, thanks for the video. I tapped the chuck on the drill without cleaning the oil, and now I can't take it back down with my hand. Is that gonna be a problem?
Great video. It helped me pull the trigger on this purchase. I was surprised that Amazon and Home Depot are both selling this unit for about $153, but I was able to buy it directly from Wen for $123. Can't wait!
Thanks for the tip got mine directly from Wen same price you got and free shipping.
I have the same exact one you are going to love it
Cool - thanks for the info!
Friend, the slots on the base are more for mounting a drill press vice or other jigs and fixtures. When you need more space to drill something because of its size you just move the table out of the way and use these "T-slots" to fasten the work piece at this lower position. The two holes in the base back near the post are for mounting the drill press to the bench. You shouldn't use those slot for mounting the drill press as you could crack the base very easily. Thanks for giving such a detailed look at this WEN product. Great information.
Great video
Informations claires et précise. Merci
Looks like a nice rig
What a awesome review! They should be paying you! I just made up my mind to buy this also 😂👍
I like mine...it's a good fit for my needs. If Wen is watching this, I'd be happy to review more tools, just send them my way...
I didn't look at all the comments so I'm not sure if someone's already mentioned this - but the T Slots on the base should not be used for attaching the machine to the bench. The cast iron base is not made to handle pressure of that type, and there's a cavity underneath. Tightening the nuts will crack your cast iron base.
The T Slots are designed to be used for jigs and fixtures. The upper table can be pivoted out of the way to make room for taller items that need drilling. The items are clamped to the slots, or to the installed jig/ fixture below, and drilled as necessary.
Even with the true base-mounting holes, the round ones, i would advise placing a scrap of wood or some kind of bearing underneath to prevent overtightening and cracking the base. My WEN 4214T doesn't have support under the mounting holes and i watched the base start bowing. Glad it didn't crack. Using the T slots for a sliding mount is a very common misconception but after doing research and reading about cracked bases, the consensus is, "I wouldn't do that if I were you"
Great video btw! To the point, clear and concise. Thanks.
good tip - thanks!
how to figure out that top portion is fit perfectly at right angle?
Thank you for helping me decide. Home Depot's price is better than Amazon by about $40.00. Nice job!
Thanks! I looked at harbor freight before settling on this unit and found that Home Depot prices were surprisingly conparable..
This is one of the best instructional videos I've seen. Thank you!
How did you square deck ,base and top?
After assembly, I noticed that the bit is slightly closer to me than the table, which barely doesn't allow the 3/4 spade to go through.
It's almost as if the table is like an 1/8" too close to the column.
Any thoughts?
There may be some alignment you can do but the bit doesn't necessarily have to go through the hole. You can get a drill press vice or use scrap under the piece you are drilling
the cat loves it.
Great detailed review! Have you thought about installing a keyless chuck on this model?
Not yet but I might in the future
Noòoooooooooooooooooo
My wife wanted a cat, guess who didn’t. Guess who the cat bonded with, yep you got it, me. It follows me where ever I go. Good video, I’m waiting for mine to arrive.
At 5:48 those keyhole slots are for accessories and large work pieces not the mounting of the drill press , the holes directly behind the keyhole slots are mounting holes, also the laser unit uses AA not AAA batteries , other than that awesome video loved it and gave a big thumbs up , maybe go back at some point and put thread locker on all the set screws and the engagement handles.
Subscribed because of the cat
Fill the column with sand! Helps with vibration!
great tip!
Good vid. I own a Wen 10 after returning a Wen 8. Do yourself a big favor. Take a real good comparison look before settling for the 8. You get SO MUCH more for the 30-50 dollars difference (depending on when you but) that it's almost self-abuse to not buy the 10. More powerful motor can legitimately drill metal. Bigger table. Longer drill travel. The rack and pinion elevator was THE reason I switched to the 10, and would have paid 50 busks more for just that, it is just TOO awkward to adjust with out it. There is much more. If you're down to your last 80-90 bucks, you're probably not buying a drill press anyway. Spend the extra few.
awesome video. question, when pulling down on the lever my press seems to be wound up under some tension, and when I pull down on the lever it sounds a little crunchy. Did you have the same experience?
Mine is very smooth...maybe check the depth stop on the center hub of the lever.
@@SevenFortyOne I figured it out. it's the loaded spring on the left hand side. problem is once I undid the double nut the whole thing popped out and now i can't put it back in
That stinks ... I hope you can fix it.
@@SevenFortyOne Spoke to tech support. something internal, sent it back
@@aussiefreediver Good - hopefully you'll get it fixed. I've been pretty happy with mine so far. Too bad you got a lemon - hopefully they will make it right.
What kind of solvent did you use?
Probably isopropyl alcohol...that's all I have in the house
Is this better than the Ryobi 10"?
I haven't used or even seen a Ryobi 10....this one works ok for me....
was it junk? I think I wanted the 12" instead. I bought the 10
I've been happy with it
Great video, very well documented on set up and features. Why did you purchase this unit over the 4212 model with it's slightly bigger motor and ease of speed adjustments?
When I was shopping for drill presses I don't recall coming across the 4212. If I had, I probably would have went with it.
Price. The 4212 is another nearly.50% more then this one. The 8" press is nearly.50% less then this one. You can always buy bigger and better, but eventually you need to set a price limit. Buying this, plus a drill press vice and other attachments puts you at a better unit for versatility then the 4212 at the same price.
Nice job on the video! Second annett_b’s thoughts!
Thanks!
I have seen so many videos that the chuck always be last please install chuck first so you can have more room to bang the thing with proper space
I'm gonna use a half inch wrench and a three quarter socket 🇺🇸
how deep will it drill?
2 1/2 Inches
So what's the next thing??
You tell me
Check out the newer model 4210T here: th-cam.com/video/raoUqq3g8Z8/w-d-xo.html
Since I now know you're a nice guy I wonder if you can help me
I just put the drill press together and I tried a small drill bit. No problem. Then I put a 2 1/8 forstner bit on. It just binds up and stops. I then tried every speed and got the same results. This is my first drill press and I'm kinda panicking. Any thoughts ?
@@scottgloster4313 are the drive pullies slipping on the belts or is the motor binding up and stopping altogether?
@@SevenFortyOne the drill bit just bogs down in the wood. The motor doesn't shut off. Now I'm thinking I didn't have enough tension on the pulleys. Are they supposed to be really tight like a rubber band tight?
@@scottgloster4313 I encourage you to take a look at your owner's manual and follow the guidelines and recommendations within it. Its hard for me to gauge what is going on in your situation without seeing it for myself so I can't really give you any advice as to what you need to do to solve your problem. Having said that, it sounds to me like you might not have enough tension on the belt so that may be a place to start checking/adjusting. Again, consult your manual for proper operation and setup.
@@SevenFortyOne Thanks for replying. My articulation skills need work. Basically drilled a hole with a 1 inch forstner bit but the 2-inch would not cut all the way through, and the bit would stop until I lifted it up. Have sense tightened the belts a lot more than they were and it works okay on a lower speed. I don't how this drill press ranks it the power department compared to others. Is this drill press under powered and how do you know what the proper belt tension is ? Do you recommend bolting the base down somehow? If you are busy don't worry about these questions. You've helped me plenty already and thank you again
How NOT to install a chuck.
I probably shouldn't ask but....what do you feel is the RIGHT way?
@@SevenFortyOne Rod and bearing block. You can get under .002" run-out at 10", and you aren't beating on the quill mechanism.
It is the correct way per the instructions. If you want more precision it's probably a better idea not to buy an entry level drill press.
@@justaman5490 Oh, I know it's in the instructions. I'm just saying there's much better ways.
@@TheTreegodfather That's not what you originally quipped.
