I just bought 1 and returned within 1 day . The spindle chatter was absolutely horrendous. When I turned on it made such a horrible noise Im kinda skeptical to buy another 1. Do u have spindle chatter, im not talking about the regular run out this chattered so bad i could not get a reading on my run out dial. The 4214t seemed it was very well made. Maybe i got a lemon, I have a 4208 for 4 years. Wen is very good for a low end drill press. Any info about your experience would be great thanks
I haven't had any problems with mine. I have drilled a little aggressively on some hard woods before and it has stopped spinning, but I just turn it off, raise up some and turn it back on and go a little slower, that always solves the problem. But no spindle chatter. I wonder if your spindle isn't seated all the way in, maybe give it another tap or two and see if that fixes it. Or you got a lemon and am exchange will work nicely for you. Sorry to hear you are having problems.
The T stands for "transformable", which is their way of saying improvements to the original 4214 features. You can read more about it if you would like: iceagetools.com/wen-4214-vs-4214t/
