OK, I had a 8 inch harbor freight drill press and needed a taller drill press, so after some research I decided on splurging for the WEN 4214 12 inch, wow, when it arrived a used my hand truck to get it up stairs to my work shop. unpacked and assembled. It was easy to figure out what went where... Once assembled I put it side by side with my HF 8 inch... I now feel like I have a real drill press... Here are the photos they speak for themselves.... Overall It looks and feels like a winner. oh and it is nice and quiet.... UPDATE: 02/02/2015 OK, finally had a chance to use my new WEN 4214 12 inch drill press. when turning it on it is very quiet, setting the speed with the handle to the left is very easy and very useful... I tried to drill a project of 160 PVC parts, that I have drilled in the past with my older HF drill press, and what a noticeable difference. The HF drill press speed was way to fast and always heated up the PVC and made it bind to the PVC. now with my new WEN 4214, I adjusted the speed down to a slower speed using the handle to the left, and it eliminated this problem. This drill press drills very smoothly and accurately... and it did the job in less than half the time of my old HF Drill Press, and was easy on my hands when I was holding the PVC in place. I think it was well worth the money, because I am a happy camper.
