Even experienced machinists and serious woodworkers find the drill press equal or better in performance than tools they use on the job. Users are thrilled and pleased with the capabilities and performance of their 4214s. We researched user reactions to see how they felt about this drill press after putting it to work on their projects. The specifications and capabilities of the WEN 4214 are impressive on paper, but the true tale is told when a tool is put to use. The variable speed works quite well with the belt system, and the readout LED seems quite accurate. The 4214 is belt driven and uses metal pulleys for durability. Is this drill press belt driven or gear driven? Depending upon the tool you use, you’ll need to be aware of the tool “walking” because of spindle limitations. It increases the versatility of the press. You can remove the chuck and install any MT2 taper tool in its place. Is it possible to remove the chuck and insert MT2 tooling in its place? Drill presses are designed to minimize side-to-side motion. That is provided by lateral movement of the sanding drum. The oscillation portion is not a feature of the drill press. If you have the correct shaft diameter for a sanding drum, you can use it in the chuck as a drum sander. Last, but not least, you can drill deeper holes with this model.Ĭan the 4214 double as an oscillating drum sander? In addition to the variable speed motor and laser crosshair, you get the capacity to drill centerline holes in 24” wide stock, and also get upgraded to a 5/8” chuck capacity, which lets you use larger straight shank drill bits. ![]() With the 4214 you get more power and greater capacity than with the next lower model, the 4212. The roller aspect of the fence also allows the user to slide the stock to the next drilling location, further simplifying stock handling. This feature is especially useful if you need to drill holes off center in a larger piece of stock. It also features a sliding extension which effectively increases the work table size. The 4214 has the largest work table in the WEN bench-top drill press line. ![]() Large work table with sliding roller extension Swing: 12” – maximum width of stock it can accept and drill holes on the centerline Speeds (number, RPM): Variable (530 – 3100)Ĭhuck capacity: 5/8” – the maximum shank size it can acceptĭrilling capacity: 3-1/8” – maximum hole depth it can drill Motor details: 120VAC, 5A, induction, ball bearings
