      bo lorenz i agree if you can approach the bench from the sides its the best choice. Also I think it’s better than behind the vise side (option 4) because if the bench is against a wall the grinding side of the grinder will be further away from the wall behind the bench. well I suppose you could always switch the stone to the other side

      I agree with option 3. Having the drill press on the corner with the grinder to the side on the side away from the vise. So, you do not have to walk around behind them to use that bench space. Also, it leaves the most amount of space open on the middle of the bench and by the vise.

I already used it with PVC, different types of wood and bits and more recently used it to drill through some 4mm (5/32") piece of metal without problems. So far so good.

    two suggestions, on the holder your grandfather built, take an old innertube and cut strips to glue to
    eh V section. It will hold items more securely when drilling them. second one is drill a hole i your
    bench and use hold downs to secure it when you need it up front. You can remove them and
    set the drill back and out of your way giving you more room to use on the front of the bench.

  • @843292

    Cody, (option: all of the above)
    * Mount the tools on wood (same exact size for each tool)
    * Make the wood bolt through to the bench,
    * Make the bolt holes the *same configuration* for the grinder and the drill press (hence the equally sized wood), then
    * Pick your multiple placement locations (for all 4 options) and drill/bolt through the table.
    THEN you could change the placement of the tools depending on the need (like Jack's first garage being small and needing all tools front mounted.)

    Few months late to this but I've had my Wen Drill Press for over a year now and bought it for the price point as well and absolutely love it. It's done everything I've needed it to do and never let me down when I needed to drill a hole in wood, metal, plastic, or leather ( yes, I use it on 14+oz leather ). Great tool and great price and while I don't have a dedicated work bench I opted for mobile carts for all of my shop tools so I can easily move everything around in my shop as I need or don't need it around my actual outfeed/assembly table.

    When i set up my first tool bench i had the drill press on the outer side, then the grinder, and my vise on opposite end.
    Now, i still have my drill press and vice on opposite ends, however my grinders are stored on a shelf mounted to a section of 2x12 with some affixed alignment dowels and holes which i can clamp to the bench when i need them.
    I did this because i have a few different sizes of bench grinders with different kinds of wheels... Cause that was easier than constantly switching between a wire wheel and a polishing wheel

    I have the 12" version of this (model 4214). It has electronic variable speeds and rack-and-pinion to raise and lower the platen. a few months after I set it up, the digital speed display went out. I called Wen and they promptly sent me a new display. Excellent customer service. The press itself works great for my small woodworking shop and I've been very happy with it. The only real gripe I have with it is that the display stays on all the time, which may be why it went out on me. I just unplug the unit when not in use now.

  • @timlillard390
    @timlillard390 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I purchased this exact drill press about a month ago. It was easy to set up (did not have a bent bolt!), and I had it up and running in about 1/2 hour. Your comment about the chuck feeling a bit gritty: The instructions indicate that the chuck came straight from the machine shop and it needs to be completely cleaned prior to installing it on the press. I cleaned the chuck per instructions and it works smoothly and "grit-free". Also, the manual states that you can remove one or more of the handles if you have a piece of lumber that interferes with the rotation of the handles raising and lowering the press, so maybe it's not such a good idea to lock them in. I've used the press about a dozen times since I purchased it and it has worked flawlessly. For my little DIY workshop, it is perfect until I can afford a much better, much more expensive press.

  • @michaeldougfir9807
    @michaeldougfir9807 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    We all need a positive start to today's comments.
    So go pick up the instruction manual first. (Young people are watching, ya know.)
    The work bench I use is all steel with heavy angle iron legs. It is 10' long. My son in law inherited it from his Dad. And he lets me use it all I want.
    The vise is a good, heavy one. Bolted on. Everything else is moved in and out for use or so it can rest out of the way.
    The drill press and bench grinder are mine.
    The drill press is a Delta, and is in between yours, in quality, and the similar size one from Craftsman. I am happy with it. I never have need to bolt or clamp it down. These are called bench top drill presses, or something like that to indicate they are not the tall ones that stand on the floor.
    I am with you. Sometimes you can fight with an item for years before the simple answer comes to mind -- as in the case of installing the drill press levers with Loctite. By watching your videos I have conquored a number of these items. But I would use Blue Loctite more than red. In my world, many things need dismantling at one time or another. But in the mean while, they were secure.
    Thanks for a good video. Good Sabbath to you and yours.
