## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 17" Wen Floor Drill Press
*by D***O on March 2, 2025*

Today was the day. A friend came over and helped assemble the drill press. We had it put together in about 30 minutes. Just took some muscle standing it upright. No bells and whistles to boast about, just a machine that drills holes. Get a drill press vise, and a decent set of drill bits. All will be worth the money when you need this tool to make a repair & do some work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So glad I took a chance
*by C***D on December 7, 2023*

The quality is way better than Harbor Freight. I have owns an HF drill press before and was less than impressed. However not the case with this one! It is really well built and feels really good. There isn't any noticeable runout in the spindle and was packaged very well. It looks like the box was punctured by a forklift at some point, but the drill press was fine with no damage.Saw one other review were someone had issues getting the table on. You have to hold the rack gear inside the table where it belongs and slide the two pieces onto the column at the same time. Pretty easy and it took me 15 mins to get it all put together.Definitely recommend this one!

### ⭐ Big mistake
*by M***R on August 12, 2024*

I was pretty excited about this drill press based on the initial reviews I read on here. I wish I would've gotten to 1 star review prior to ordering. Before I even plugged this thing in I wanted to check the functionality of the table and tensioner to adjust the speed. Once assembled the table height adjuster worked but was a little jumpy, not smooth at all. When I went to change the speed settings, the motor wouldn't budge. I fussed with it for about an hour until I finally called. Got on operator online pretty quick. He told me there is a bolt located under the connecting plate (motor to main body) that had a jamb nut on it. Just tighten all the way and the motor will release. It seemed like such a specific and quick answered I asked why it wasnt noted in the manual. Silence. I asked if he was still there he said "yes I'm here". I replied, "so you're just going ignore my question?". He replied he is only there to help which was a fair reply. Anyway, he said I could return it, which I was aware of. I stated that hardly makes up for a half day I lost. Again, he had nothing to do with that and if I could apologize to him for being short and grumpy I would. ANYWAY, I messed with it for about another hour and got the motor to move but it only moved out and not in far enough to even take the belts off. By this time my buddy was helping out (he is the CNC manager here) and he noticed the pullies were made of cast and not even machined. I forgot to mention earlier, when installing the table, I noticed some orange scratches at the top pole and I knew from that and its packaging, this machine had been returned at least once.Maybe it was a one off, bad machine. Its good to hear not everyone had these issues. But I personally will never buy this brand again.
