A benchtop drill press with lever adjusted variable speed and a live RPM readout, suited to a home shop drilling wood, plastic and metal. Spindle travel is short, so deep holes need repositioning the work.

Overview
A mechanical variable speed drive on the WEN benchtop press lets you dial spindle speed with a lever while a digital readout shows the current RPM. An induction motor turns a keyed chuck above a beveling cast iron table, and a crosshair laser marks the drilling point.
Changing speed with a simple lever makes it quick to match the bit and material, and the readout removes guesswork. Spindle travel is limited, so tall workpieces and deep holes take more setup.
Who it's for
Garage and hobby shops that drill repeat holes in wood, plastic and light metal and want speed matched to each bit. Fabricators boring deep or large diameter holes should look at a larger press.
Pros and cons
- Lever sets speed across the whole range
- Digital readout shows current RPM
- Cast iron table bevels both directions
- Laser crosshair marks the center point
- Short spindle travel for deep holes
- Keyed chuck slows bit changes
- Listing gives two different weights
- Vise and bits not in the included list
Performance notes
Hole quality depends on matching speed to the bit and material, which the variable drive and readout make easy: slow for metal and large bits, fast for small bits in wood. The cast iron table and base damp vibration, and bolting the base to a bench stops it walking. Laser accuracy relies on its alignment, so check it against a test hole.
