True but it's literally twice as much, so you could think of it as buying a $217 drill press with a 2 year warranty, plus an additional $217 just for an extended warranty.

Like I said, I'm happy with the Jet. But if I could do it again, I would get the Wen and spend the difference on something else.

Sure, if you want to do it annually or something. Or buy the JET once.

I've had this Jet drill press since about 2016. It's good but FYI, it's a rebadged WEN 4214T [homedepot.com], which is just $217 right now at Home Depot. I have a lot of Jet tools (including the mortiser in this post) and like them but I would buy the Wen drill press.

You may be right, but the Wen you listed has a 2 year warranty where this Jet has a 5 year.

Agree. Side by side it's identical to the Wen. Minor change in platform design, but otherwise. Paying for the 5 year warranty and badge on the Jet.

I draw the line on HF stuff at anything motorized or electrical.

Good to know this Jet is essentially the Wen. Thanks all
