WEN 4208T Drill Press | Unboxing, Setup, & Test

Have you tried drilling any metal with it? 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" mild steel?

Its small and affordable for my new workshop. Fit perfectly in this this tiny room. Love to see videos about Dewalt power tools. Your awesome!

Thanks for the thorough, easy to follow video. I’m sold and I’ll be sure to use your affiliate link.

Great video, thank you. By the way, which forcener bits do you recommend for this drill press?

Thanks. Been looking at this..

Useful, thanks. Looking at one for my small shop.

Have you had a chance to use this drill press with larger forsner bits? Did it bog down? Looked like it handled the smaller forsner bit well. Any experience with hole saws? Thanks!

Thank you 😊 I was just looking for something to drill holes in the wood for the candles. Thanks for the video.

Have you heard of any way to put a quick lock Chuck on it?

Great video. I'm getting one right away.

Hi, thank for the video, helps a lot 🙌
I bought that machine to make big holes in driftwood for my plants. But since is my first time starting learn something new I would like to ask your advice for the pieces a need to buy and connect to the drill for the holes in the wood.

Sorry, my language is Spanish and is hard to explain in English 😓

I hope you understood

Great video and commentary thanks 🙏

Do you have a video for installing the 24" table? DPA2513

I know you want to use your new gadgets but a good ol square works better than new digital levels you can never trust the levelness on a sub floor or a garage floor they usually slope garage floors

Hi Josh, I’d like to use a drill press to better drill 1/2 bore in ceramics figurines for crafts. I need the accuracy and stability. Do you think this is suitable for this task? Most of the figurines are 6” or less.
Thanks you!

This was great! I bought mine for crafting. Your video was very helpful.

Excellent video, covered all the basics. Thanks for posting.

This looks exactly like the harbor freight press they sell just with a different color scheme. I wonder how you feel about the press after having had it for a year. I’m currently looking for a budget friendly press.

bro you actually followed the instructions? I just wiped off the grease I could from the outside and hammered that chuck straight on with my rubber mallet 🤣she works fine

Thanks for the video. I have a local guy selling one and I am very interested. I would be riding my motorized bike to him to get it. I can fit everything in my bookbag other than the head unit. In your opinion, how heavy is it? Do you think it's too heavy to fit in a milk crate? The milk crate is secure to the back rack of my bike which I've carried some super heavy things in before.

Would it be okay to drill thick aluminum with this thing??

Thank you, I just bought this drill press and your video was great.

Your mic is so sensitive I can hear your tongue slapping around the saliva in your mouth….

How much does it weigh, and how easy is it to change the height of the table? I can see how you change the table height, but it didn't look like it moved very easily.

STRAIGHT TALK .........good info.......no bs .....................Thanks

Awesome thanks! Was just installing the chuck but unsure how much to tap it so you tube lol

What press vise would fit this drill? I don't know the dimensions of the openings...Thanks!

Thanks for your help

I've had this same drill many years and still love it. Recently added the Wen drill press table. Also noticed you have the same router table...which i love too.

Do you still like it? I was worried about how far down i could drill into a pice of wood with this press, but it looks like you could drill into a 2x4 just fine. Have you tried using it for anything bigger than that?

How does the table holds? It doesn’t have locking teeth to hold the working table from sliding

Not everyone uses a drill press for woodworking.

Great video . I’m wondering if you’ve ever used a three-quarter Forstner bit and if you have how did it handle that

Thank you for explaining so clearly how to set it up. This helps a lot

How did it hold after 1 year? thinking about getting one.

Do you recommend the drill press after using it for a while? thanks

Good vid. I bought one and followed your directions. Worked out great Thank you.

How do you feel about this drill press 2 years later? Do you regret not buying something better or has it handled everything you throw at it?

Do you have any recommendations for what to use to hold down a 2 inch wood sphere while drilling?

I just got one of these and cant wait to use it. I've used drill presses before so this is pretty straight forward but your video helped me understand the chuck installation. But one question, can you add a second column. I haven't unpacked mine yet so I don't know if the column is threaded or not.

I just ordered one on amazon, after watching your video. Thank you for reviewing!

How the hell do you secure the speed box? Once you take that fastener out, it’s impossible to secure it again. It uses a loose nut inside the casing to secure it. Any ideas?

my boys got the wettest mouth noises in the game!

I am trying to decide if 2.3 amps is enough power. It would be for wood I think but not metal.

I purchased a piece of crap WEN 4214 drill press and was able to square the table left to right but it was badly out of square front to back. I assumed that the vise I mounted on the table must have thrown it out of square so I removed it and tried again. I discovered that it was the table itself that was out of square so I decided I could shim the vise and level things up. Wrong – the table is DEFORMED and has one low corner. Which is basically impossible to shim and fix. I went back and forth with WEN forth three weeks and they finally suggested I PURCHASE a new table from them that might possibly be square front to back. ...isn't the entire purpose of a drill press to drill holes that are square with your work? This POS fails miserably!

You’re either licking your microphone or waaay too close.

Great video. Thanks for all the helpful info!

Great video. Question, does the chuck have a keyway for alignment or is it just a pressed friction fit ? Thank you !

I hear your lips/saliva --yuck

Dang my table doesn’t tighten for some reason 🤔
