## Description

Remember when you could drill with maximum accuracy? Power through metal, wood, plastics, and more with the WEN 8-Inch 5-Speed Drill Press. Don’t let our compact design fool you. Between the five operating speeds, the two-inch spindle travel, and the sturdy construction, you’ll have way more precision than a standard handheld drill. Our 2.3-amp induction motor features ball bearings for smooth balanced performance even at high speed. Manually set your speed to either 750, 1100, 1500, 2100, or 3200 RPM by adjusting the belt position on the two spindles. The easy-to-read, locking depth stop allows for accurate and repeatable drilling operations. The keyed chuck with JT33 spindle taper accepts bits ranging from 1/20 to 1/2 inch in diameter (1.5 to 13 mm). The table bevels 45° left and right for angled drilling. 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: It doesn't woth the price
Review: Wen 8 inch drill press 4206T. Came in heavy box with molded styrofoam. All wrapped in plastic. No missing or broken parts. No dings or chipped paint. All factory installed bolts, parts, etc were tight. Easy to put together. Bits checked out 90 deg to table. No wobble at all. Quite. The table slides up and down easily and holds tight. It would be next to impossible for it to slip after lock bolt is tightened. I tried a 2 inch hole saw at 2100 rpm and easily drilled through 1 inch pine. Need to slow down speed for hardwood or other materials. I owned fab shop for 40 years and had big drill presses. Got this for hobby and repair work around house. It is absolutely a well made little drill press. Dont know the limits yet, but plenty for most of us DIY. You need to use good quality sharp bits and hole saws with a drill press. Cheap wore out bits/saws just wont cut it. Dont use blade bits with the threads. Could get hurt if hangs up. Look, i dont know how they can produce this for a $100. You wont go wrong with this tool and price. I have a Wen air nailer, also great. Wen makes very good products for a good price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the difference between this 4206 model and the 4208?**
A: Not much, 4206 has a higher 60 RPM and the Chuck capacity goes to a 1/20 to 1/2 in on the 4206 Model and the 4208 is a 1/16 to 1/2.  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 .

Need to return due to faulty motor. It gets very hot after 20sec of running without load , even without the belt. Theres no resistance when turn the spindle with hand . If I would keep running it would definitely burned. Maybe better luck next time :)
