Fine little press for my needs ...
I'm a cabinetmaker so my needs for a drill press are for boring hinge cups in cabinet doors and drilling 3/16" holes in doors and drawer heads for handles & knobs. Pretty light duty. I read the reviews and took the plunge. I've owned a Delta 8" press in the past, so any comparisons will be to that press. First of all, the packaging for this little guy was absolutely the best I've seen in a while - all components were wrapped in 1 of 2 form-fitted styrofoam "trays", surrounded by beefy cardboard. Secondly, the assembly/use instructions were clear cut & simple. The unit could be assembled by any mechanically inclined 12 y/o. While my old Delta had 2 annoying features - no place to store the chuck key and feed handles that were always loose - the Wen has a specific place for the key, and the feed handles even have flats for a wrench if needed. One reviewer I read remarked that this press is top heavy. What did you expect? Yeah, bolt the thing down. It's an ease of use AND safety thing. All in all I'm confident this Wen press will do all I ask of it for years to come.
