Was looking for a drill press and saw this one on sale. From the YT reviews that I saw, seems like a pretty decent one and according to C3, it's quite at the lowest price.

Last FP deal was on Woot at $230 I think.

Exactly what's gonna happen if I order one.

I bought this to make a purge block for my exhaust runners. Shop was going to charge me 300 to make it. Bought it from woot for 230. Did the job with no problems and drilled straight. Wilwood brakes had holes too small for my bolts and this thing reamed like a champ. I've tapped steel and aluminum no problem.

Great intro/beginner drill press. I had this several years ago, and used the heck out of it. Upgraded to a powermatic floor standing version last year. Powermatic was over 10x more expensive, but only 3x better. That 3x though is many things this Wen just can't do.

If you are on the fence, I would do it. There is a good secondary market on Facebag & eBay if you find you don't use it.

I bought this in 2016, has been great for various small projects. I purchased a Shop Fox tool table as well, and bolted it to the wood to turn it into a free standing drill press. Has been steady as a rock for the last 7 years:

I love mine. Love being able to adjust the speed without moving a belt. It took 3 tries to get one that didn't have a broken control box on it. But 3rd times the charm.

I bought one of these a few years ago. Other than one of the lasers going bad, the drill press has been excellent

I've had the 4214 for the last two years. As a hobbyist I was happy with it; it even had enough chooch to drive a 2.5" forstner bit into some MDF without breaking a sweat. But it spends most of its time in cold storage, and now at low speeds, the belt slips at lower rpms even with no load.
Anyway, if you need a drill press on a limited budget, I still think this is a good deal. Changing the belt isn't hard, it's just annoying.
