Product Description

Remember when power tools were actually powerful? WEN’s 8-inch swing, 5-speed drill press is small but powerful enough to drill through metal, wood, plastics, and other materials. Max drill capacity is 1/2” in 1” thick cast iron. When you need accurate, repeatable holes, this tool will do the job more conveniently and precisely than a hand held drill. The perfect size for the shop and portable enough to take to the job. Constructed with a rigid frame consisting of cast iron: head, table, and base ensuring accurate holes. Its powerful induction motor features ball bearings for an extended life and it all comes together with smooth and balanced performance even at high speeds. The ½” chuck with JT33 spindle taper gives you versatility with a variety of bits. Worktable bevels 45° left and right for those tricky operations for the perfect right angles consistently. The base contains predrilled holes for mounting onto a bench or work stand. The slotted table allows for mounting clamps and vises for effective workholding. Since 1951, WEN has proudly produced innovative powered tools focused on value delivering meaningful features that will help you complete and enjoy the work as much as the project. Remember when you could drill holes in any material with ease? Remember WEN.

WOW!  Smokin' Hot Deal on this Superbly Designed Mini-Drill Press!

WOW! Smokin' Hot Deal on this Superbly Designed Mini-Drill Press!
Okay, so after building Movie Sets for the Studios in LA for nearly 45 years, working in Set Fabrication shops and out On Locations; I've worked with ALL kinds of power tools... and I gotta say, I saw one of these out on a remote Set Location, while being used on the tailgate of a pick-up... So I just got one for myself and I Love It! Super well designed for HD use, nothing, and I mean NOTHING cheap or flimsy here! Really well-engineered and constructed... obviously by a Pro Tool Pusher and built for serious use! This baby just earned a home in my Garage Shop, NOT in the Tool Shed where all my "occasional" use tools are stored. At this price, I'm thinking about getting a couple to give to my Adult Grandsons for Christmas!
