WEN 4208 8-Inch Drill Press
WEN’s 4208 Drill Press is a small and affordable but powerful drill. It’s capable of boring holes in wood, metal, plastics, and other materials accurately and precisely. This benchtop drill is small enough to be a perfect fit for those looking for something to bring to job sites or move around their work area. The press stands at a manageable 2-foot height. Though it doesn’t have advanced extras such as work lights, a laser, or a digital speed reader, this bare-bones machine is the best drill press for getting down to business around the home.
At the heart of this benchtop drill press is a durable 1/3 horsepower induction motor with ball-bearings that make for a smooth operating experience. Not only that, the drill press offers five different pulley speeds, between 740 and 3140 RPM. It has a spindle taper that accepts bits up to ½ inch in diameter, which means more versatility for projects. This benchtop drill press comes equipped with a depth adjustment gauge for even more flexibility. This means you can change the distance your spindle travels to suit your exact needs.
The 6 ½ by 6 ½ cast iron worktable can bevel up to 45 degrees – left and right. It’s slotted, which allows mounting clasps and vises to hold your wood or other material in place. For added safety, pre-drilled holes in the base make for easy mounting to your bench or whatever surface you’ll be working on. WEN’s drill press also boasts onboard key storage for holding onto your drill bits. All in all, while other tools may feel more luxurious, the features on this press are all you really need to get drilling accuracy.
