I dont normally poo poo on items here but these WEN drill press tables are absolutely terrible. Particularly this one as the t track is placed so close together to you cant effectively clamp down anything of significant size. For anybody actually considering this you will want to replace all the screws with better and longer ones. I also suggest unscrewing the track and epoxy the track back into place. The short screws into mdf have no holding power and will strip out with any pressure.

I do normally 💩 💩 on items here (if they deserve it) and you are correct... this table deserves it lol. (But when an item is awesome, albeit rarely, I praise it!)

The WEN table (or any MDF table) is horrible for any type of clamping scenario. (I'm still amazed so many people still use MDF for their MFT type tables, just because "But Festool uses it?!?!" excuse.)

Life is too short for MDF.

Protip: use Euro style cabinet screws for your t-track mounting. They're a wider, stub-nose extra coarse thread screw and it will lock into things like crazy. (Wife bought a Ikea thing a few years ago, and fell in love with the screws as I'd never seen them before that. Now I've seen Dave Stanton started using them as well!! Give it a shot... but just know if you buy predrilled track, you might want to bore out the holes a hair. I just reordered a bunch from Amazon a few months ago... as I make a lot of jigs with t-track and miter track.

I keep MDF around for quick jigs or planer sleds, but for anything that will endure prolonged use mdf is a no no. Good tip on the euro screws. I laced my work bench with t track and both epoxied then anchored screws into hurricane nuts. Nothing can pull it up.
