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.

Constructed with a durable cast iron base, this drill press ensures stability and reduces vibration, resulting in more accurate and controlled drilling. The 5-speed settings cater to various materials and project requirements, offering flexibility and precision. The easy-to-adjust depth stop and spindle travel enhance the overall user experience, allowing for consistent drilling depths.
Assembly is a breeze with clear instructions, and the black and orange color scheme adds a touch of style to the workspace. The adjustable worktable and beveling feature accommodate a range of angles and project demands, proving the versatility of this drill press.
WEN's commitment to safety is evident with the reliable key chuck, providing a secure grip on drill bits. The onboard key storage ensures that essential accessories are always within reach. The 4208T's user-friendly design extends to the intuitive speed display, allowing for quick adjustments during operation.
While the 8-inch size may not be suitable for industrial-scale projects, it is ideal for hobbyists and those with limited space. WEN's reputation for quality craftsmanship shines through with the 4208T, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking a dependable and compact drill press that doesn't compromise on performance. Whether you're a seasoned woodworker or a novice DIY enthusiast, the WEN 4208T stands out as a reliable and efficient tool, bringing precision and power to your projects with every drill.
Setting up out of the box: The user needs to attach the press tower to the powder-coated cast-iron base (using your own wrench), the cast and machined-flat table to the press tower, and the drive assembly to the top of the tower. Once this is complete, the user needs to clean the mating surfaces of the chuck and spindle, then use a hammer to attach the chuck onto the spindle. I did this, tested the trueness of my chuck assembly, and discovered some wobble. A couple more medium whacks with the hammer, and the chuck was set nice and true. The table on mine was not squared to the drill bit axis. I used a long Philips screwdriver stuck in the chuck, handle side down, with a small carpenter's square, to get the left-to-right (X-axis) alignment correct. The indicators for degrees of tilt on the table should not be trusted out of the box. Luckily, the table is square front to back (Y-axis), as this is not adjustable on this model. I then adjusted the pulleys to the lowest speed, easily done with no tools.
My impressions: Once set up, I was able to rattle off several small home and hobby projects that had been held up due to needing good, 90-degree holes made, including counter-sinking, using the chuck stop on the left side of the press. Get yourself some small C-clamps for holding work steady on the table (different hardnesses in the wood grain can can make pull your project out of alignment) and supply your own work light to shine on the project area, as one is not included with this model.
*For the money* this is a good little beginner drill press that has met and, in some cases exceeded, my expectations. If you want more bells, whistles and convenience, spend more on another more expensive model. For occasional home and hobby uses, this is a great little press.
