      bo lorenz i agree if you can approach the bench from the sides its the best choice. Also I think it’s better than behind the vise side (option 4) because if the bench is against a wall the grinding side of the grinder will be further away from the wall behind the bench. well I suppose you could always switch the stone to the other side

      I agree with option 3. Having the drill press on the corner with the grinder to the side on the side away from the vise. So, you do not have to walk around behind them to use that bench space. Also, it leaves the most amount of space open on the middle of the bench and by the vise.

I already used it with PVC, different types of wood and bits and more recently used it to drill through some 4mm (5/32") piece of metal without problems. So far so good.

    Cody, (option: all of the above)
    * Mount the tools on wood (same exact size for each tool)
    * Make the wood bolt through to the bench,
    * Make the bolt holes the *same configuration* for the grinder and the drill press (hence the equally sized wood), then
    * Pick your multiple placement locations (for all 4 options) and drill/bolt through the table.
    THEN you could change the placement of the tools depending on the need (like Jack's first garage being small and needing all tools front mounted.)

    two suggestions, on the holder your grandfather built, take an old innertube and cut strips to glue to

    bench and use hold downs to secure it when you need it up front. You can remove them and
    set the drill back and out of your way giving you more room to use on the front of the bench.

    I've always wanted one of these mini drill presses because they just seem so practical. Drilling perfectly straight holes can be an absolute chore and when working with very small parts its near impossible without a drill press.

    We all need a positive start to today's comments.
    So go pick up the instruction manual first. (Young people are watching, ya know.)
    The work bench I use is all steel with heavy angle iron legs. It is 10' long. My son in law inherited it from his Dad. And he lets me use it all I want.
    The vise is a good, heavy one. Bolted on. Everything else is moved in and out for use or so it can rest out of the way.
    The drill press and bench grinder are mine.
    The drill press is a Delta, and is in between yours, in quality, and the similar size one from Craftsman. I am happy with it. I never have need to bolt or clamp it down. These are called bench top drill presses, or something like that to indicate they are not the tall ones that stand on the floor.
    I am with you. Sometimes you can fight with an item for years before the simple answer comes to mind -- as in the case of installing the drill press levers with Loctite. By watching your videos I have conquored a number of these items. But I would use Blue Loctite more than red. In my world, many things need dismantling at one time or another. But in the mean while, they were secure.
    Thanks for a good video. Good Sabbath to you and yours.

It has held up well plus I bought it used from an older gentleman that used it regularly in his small furniture business. He said when he sold it to me that he really liked it but with his business growing he needed a better larger one. There is also a UA-cam channel called punished props academy the creator there has the same model as mine and he loves it for his projects. Hopefully I helped you guys out some.

    Few months late to this but I've had my Wen Drill Press for over a year now and bought it for the price point as well and absolutely love it. It's done everything I've needed it to do and never let me down when I needed to drill a hole in wood, metal, plastic, or leather ( yes, I use it on 14+oz leather ). Great tool and great price and while I don't have a dedicated work bench I opted for mobile carts for all of my shop tools so I can easily move everything around in my shop as I need or don't need it around my actual outfeed/assembly table.
    Loved the video and review and I'll be watching more of your videos for sure.

And after watching a couple of misc reviews, readily lost interest. Next, I began looking at WEN, and ended up purchasing a 10 in. model. I seriously considered the model which you highlight in this video, but the 10 in model offered a couple if features I really like.
    You seem to be personnel knowledge in shop equip, and appreciate your input on these WEN presses .... Mine has not yet arrived, but I look forward to getting it together.

So far I am really impressed with the WEN quality. I really wanted to buy American, but there was nothing available that compared. Then I got the WEN 6 inch vise. Once again, not disappointed. I had never heard of them a month ago, now I'm a fan.

    @filmbluff99 4 роки тому

    As a 76 year old, the placement of both a vice and a drill press is that you want as much free space as possible on both sides. The reason is that one day you may need to hold in the vice or under the drill press a 10 ft piece of steel, bar, wood, etc and the more free space on each side the better. Put the grinder on the side of the bench.
