I noticed some of the reviews are also for other models. This item, the WEN 4208 has an 8-inch swing. So, you can drill the center of an 8- inch diameter object, or about 4- inches from drill center to body. The WEN 4210 & the WEN 4212 have 10- inch swings. Anyone trying to drill the center of a 9- inch wheel would need one of these models. This 4208 is a Great drill for the money. i like that the head can be swung over the edge of a work bench, which allows for drilling into long stock. Like into the bottom center of a 36" post. The beveling work table is another great feature & one i did not have on the press this will replace. If you have the space, consider the WEN 4214 with 12-Inch swing. it is still small enough to be bench top, but you can drill the center of 12- inch/ bowls & table tops. **Q: ease of putting together** A: It's really easy to put together. Just took me round 5-10 minutes. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best sub 100 drill press *by on Reviewed in the United States December 14, 2025* For me, this is a very good price the build quality is very good and it is a versatile tool because unlike other gel presses in this price range, you can adjust the angle of the drilling. More than 2 inches of drilling would be nice, but you pay for what you get. It’s very nice and heavy cast-iron. And the performance is very good. The five speed function is also nice allowing you to drill through metals I have drilled through steel and as long as you use oil and a decent bit can get through pretty thick material ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works GREAT making doorstops... *by on Reviewed in the United States August 10, 2021* I like doorstops, doorstops like me and I like making doorstops. This little beast is a nice piece of kit for making said doorstops. The doorstops are made from 7075 and 6061 aluminum. I use a 5D doorstop hole maker and its done great with this WEN 8" drill press. Yes, I know, it's Chinese and everything, but the boots working at the WEN doorstop ++ maker factory must be very happy and cared for. It isn't a $1,000 drill press obviously, but it does the job, just like your cousin Eddie. It's a little rough around the edges, but it doesn't affect the operation. It's for light duty only AND it's highly portable. It's incredibly easy to put together and it was shipped securely, absolutely no issues.IF you're fabricating heavy duty tank armor, this isn't your drill press, but if you're drilling holes into doorstops; firmly placing you on the enemies of the state list, this is your drill press. You'll have to adapt and improvise a little bit cuz it's only 8", but it'll poke a hole perfectly. You may have heard that before but in this case it's true. I teamed this press up with a WEN WA0392 120V 15-Amp Momentary Power Foot Pedal Switch for safety and it also works great. Another nice piece of kit from WEN. I also use it with a bench grinder (not a WEN) and of course a DeWalt DWP611 router, essential for making doorstops. I just plug whatever corded tool (15amps or less) I'm using into the back of the pedal plug, plug that into my power source, stick it on the floor and use my foot to control the off/on function of the tool....hands free so to speak, much safer. So there you go, knock yourself out. It's well worth the $100 or so bucks for the drill and what, $14 bucks for the pedal? Well worth it. Highly recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, and only 2 issues, but works well. *by on Reviewed in the United States March 22, 2025* My old one was 25 yrs old. Got this one, great price. Works well and was not all that problematic to assemble. Only 2 issues. the Chuck Key did not fit the chuck. The Chuck holes measured .250 and the chuck key came in at .222. Luckily I had one from the old press that worked. The other issue was the drive belt cover really rattled. I loosened the belts a bit as that was recommended. Didn't solve it so I used a clamp on it to keep it still. All in all, glad I got it. ## Frequently Bought Together - WEN 4208T 2.3-Amp 8-Inch 5-Speed Cast Iron Benchtop Drill Press,Black/Orange - WEN Drill Press Vise, 4-Inch (DPA424) - WEN DPA2513 24-by-12-Inch Drill Press Table with an Adjustable Fence and Stop Block --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/296125173-wen-4208t-2-3-amp-8-inch-5-speed-cast](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/296125173-wen-4208t-2-3-amp-8-inch-5-speed-cast) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-08-10*
