WEN 4210 10” Drill Press Review (plus maintenance)

Doing a review of, and performing maintenance on, my WEN 4210 10” Drill Press. I’ve had this tool for 4 years now. Specs, cleanup, and my likes/dislikes.

I had this dill press for a couple years and it was just OK. The biggest problems I had was that I couldn’t drill with any bit larger than 1”, because the belt constantly slipped, causing other press to stall, no matter how much I tightened it.

I recently upgraded to the WEN 4214 and while it’s not a machinists drill press, it’s considerably better than my old 4210. With a 1.5” forstner bit, I drilled a hole in red oak with ease, no stalling or belt slippage.

Thank you for this video. I have the same drill press and picked up so many maintenance tips and tricks. You earned a subscriber!

Great review. Just FYI, there is a little black holder on the right side of the press to hold the chuck key.

I use a yoga mat under mine works great found it at a garage sale for a few bucks so it covers scroll saw, grinders, drill press etc. Never thought I would own a yoga mat lol! Great vid getting ready to maintenance my drill press! Was trying to find a replacement bolt for the housing cover mine was not long enough out the box didn't feel like sending it back for that reason can't seem to match it any hardware stores! You wouldn't happen to know the size of the thumb bolt so I can get a longer one?

These seem to have recently vanished from the market, do you know if they were recalled? Im trying to decide between this and 4208

"You put a little bit on the threads", not as much as you put on. Take it easy or you'll pay hell getting them back out.
