Review on WEN DPA2412T Drill Press Adjustable by Melvin Goerge

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good with small adjustments

I bought a WEN drill table because I wanted to pair it with my WEN 4214 12 inch variable speed drill and because it was one of the cheapest tables on the market like most WEN products. I've been using it for a year and a half now, so I feel like I'll write a review of actual usage over time. Be warned, the T-track will separate from the MDF. I'm not saying it can come loose, I'm saying it will come loose if you try to secure the work piece with the clamps. If you buy this table, do yourself a favor, remove the useless screws from the rails, slide out the rails and glue in the T-slot. A five-minute epoxy works well for this task. You don't need much as it pushes out at the ends and is held in place by the screw in the T-slot. Replace the screws and use the clips to hold the rails in place. Do this and you have a decent table for your drill press. Otherwise just be careful: The measuring tape will probably not last long, the thin protective layer on mine started to wear off after about a year.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Slightly dented
