Very basic simple drill It’s been said before it’ll do the job

The drill was easy to assemble and Easy to use. The only problem I have had with it is the nut that holds the cover down was not welded in place as received. The cover stays down but I can’t use the thumb screw to hold it in place

Great for smaller job’s, the speed adjustment is done by moving drive belt to different pulleys, for different ratio, didn’t know that, but seems simple enough to do so, all and all I’m satisfied so far, but haven’t used it that much yet

I have limited space in my garage work area and I needed a compact but accurate drill press. This item fits the need perfectly.

For the simple home user, it’s perfect.

Easy to setup & adjust for various usages, and the overall value is very good for typical home & hobby use. The chuck has been a bit stiff to adjust (by hand) – tending to turn unless I use both hands, but I’ve not had any wobble or alignment issues. The drill is quiet and the stroke is smooth. If not used as a bench mounted drill, I would recommend mounting to a broader base (e.g. 2′ SQ plywood) for more stability if you need to drill on longer pieces of metal or word.

Been great so far. Very quiet and smooth. Table adjustment a little annoying but not enough to downgrade.

Was pretty easy to assemble. It’s quiet and precise. Does everything I need it to do so far.

My only complaint is that i didnt realize that 8in means only 4 inches of clearance or i would have bought the 10 inch. I could not fit a guitar in to drill the bushings without hitting the pole, so i had to modify it Tim Taylor style. The good: I needed to drill precision 1/2” holes for bushings and thats what i got. Virtually no run out on the bit.

Eli Konopelski (verified owner) –
I’m giving it a five for overall, quality and ease of assembly and use typical of WEN products. It does bog down occasionally. I’m not sure if I was using too high speed, a dull drill bit or trying to go to fast drilling; but I didn’t let that effect my overall assessment..
Maye Christiansen (verified owner) –
Extremely well made for the price. Very quiet and no vibrations or bearing noise. Great value. I bought other small drill presses and quickly returned them after assembly and test run. Could use the addition of a light for intricate work.
