The base is designed with holes for mounting onto a bench or work stand. Clamps and vises are easily mounted to the slotted table, making work-holding safe and effective. And because its a WEN product, your drill press comes backed by a two-year warranty, a stocked inventory of replacement parts, and a helpful customer phone line. Remember when you could drill holes in almost anything? Remember WEN. Review: You Don't Need to Be a Sergent With This Drill - Better than expected. The motor is quiet and the spindle is quiet and smooth and no more noisy than a 1960's vintage high quality Delta Drill Press (back in the super quality days). Very stable, I got 5 thousandths of an inch runout on the chuck - very acceptable for hobby use. Never over tighten a Chuck to keep it on center (less runout) over time. Its all high quality in this unit. It went together perfectly. DO NOT over tighten ANY bolts, handles, or set screws... use Blue Locktite and torque them with moderate pressure only. There is a lot of cast iron in the unit, and it can break from torquing bolts, set screws, and such too tightly. Note: The pullys are aluminum and not steel. This is ok for light hobbiest use, but for pro use, steel pullies are better (and more costly). Do not over tighten the table position locking lever, use just enough snug force, it will stay in place. Read the instructions. Its important to properly remove all oil residue from the chuck and its tapered mounting point on the spindle to prevent it from falling out. Make sure the 3 prongs are fully up inside the chuck when "tapping" it into place. Read the manual for maintenence: Just like the machined surface on a table saw, applying that smelly furniture paste wax to the exposed metal keeps it from rusting due to humidity. Lubricate the Quill per the manual. This is not an industrial drill press, don't abuse it. Treat it with respect and DONT use it as a milling machine if you want to drill accurately. Review: Cannot beat for the money!!!!!! - I needed a drill press for my wood shop but I knew it would not be a piece of equipment I would use every day. I had purchased a Wen belt sander and it was a beast so I decided to try the drill press and I am glad I did. I got the box and it was extremely well packed. Putting it together was a common sense procedure that took no time. For a hundred dollar drill press I am more than impressed. I put it together in literally 5 minutes and had it up and running. Ran it and used it for a bit drilling holes and bought it mainly to drill holes for birdhouses and the occasional hole I need for furniture. The motor is very quiet and solid and the construction is awesome. I really was not expecting it to be this solid for the price. I changed the speeds on it a couple times and it went very smoothly with no issues. It has a place to mount the chuck tool which is handy and the operating handle for the press is really smooth and seems durable. Now this is a good hobby press for the novice and could handle hours of work if needed but realistically it is not a commercial grade but will take some abuse. It has fit the bill for what I need and for the price and quality has exceeded my expectations and I am pretty picky about my tools. The Wen belt sander you can turn it upside down and use it for a table sander.

So there is not much difference **Q: Would this drill thru a 4 by 4 by 8 post for lag bolts for patio... rookie here.** A: It's very possible if you have a longer drill bit. The issue would be if you decide to add a vice, or other holding device to the table, you may not have enough room to get the bit in and out. I bought this drill for a project and ended up returning it because there was not enough space to get the bit in and out of the chuck with the vice on table. If you put the 4x4 on the table directly, make sure you secure it. It may be wise to have another person support the end you are drilling because a 8 ft board will bend. support on the long end is a must. One important thing, this will only work if drilling on the side. If you need to drill the top, a hand drill is a must. After returning this item, I bought a Skil 1/2 corded drill. For me it worked a lot better than this. Hope this helps with making your decision easier. **Q: Does it run off 110** A: It does. **Q: Can you attach a Mortiser attachment to it?** A: A mortiser can be attached but you are limited on the thickness of the material you can use because of the limited travel on the quill. For that kind of use I would recommend the next larger drill press. I like mine really well but wish I got the larger machine . ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You Don't Need to Be a Sergent With This Drill *by P***Y on April 25, 2026* Better than expected.
