I recently bought their 4214 drill press after doing a ton of research. I am confident that I got the best bang for my buck.

It compares favorably with drill presses twice and even three times the price.

I love the no-belt-change variable speed, just wish the rpm's went a bit lower. Plenty of power. I like the built in work light and the laser is very accurate right out of the box.

One concern was customer service which many reviewers said sucked. Mine arrived with the depth stop/gauge slightly damaged from shipping. I called Wen, got a hold of a service rep immediately and had an entire new assembly shipped for free within three days. I was very impressed.

I built this rolling cart/stand for it.






I have the same plus a benchtop sabelt,circular sander. They work fine for me!

I've got a old Wen jig saw/scroll saw. must be 40 yrs at least, still runs like a champ, having trouble finding blades for it

Lots of Chinese parts are used to make WEN products.

But also my Milwaukee cordless tools are made in China too.

I've had decent luck with WEN tools I've owned in the past.

I have a combo sander from them. It’s ok, it is the same cheap model that Ryobi and others put out. It’s ok for what I’m doing with it but I wouldn’t sand anything important with it. Cheap china.

Actually, I think SawStops are made in Taiwan. But, China or Taiwan, is there a big difference?

I have been looking at drill presses

I have looked at the 4214 , it seems all the drill presses have a rather short spindle travel the 4214 3 1/8 inches only

having come form almost entirely working on production drill presses with 6 inches of qill travel or more I wasn't sure if 3 1/8 would be enough but it is more than double the money to get to 4 inches of travel.
