WEN 12-Inch Benchtop Drill Press DP1263V with Laser and LED

Power and precision in a compact package

The WEN DP1263V 12-inch benchtop drill press blends a sturdy cast iron frame with a robust 6.2-amp induction motor. Built to handle metal, wood, and plastic, it can drill clean through heavy-duty cast iron up to 1 inch thick. Its 12-inch swing and 3-1/8 inch spindle travel open up space for larger workpieces and longer bits, giving you flexibility for a range of projects without moving to a larger standalone machine.

Designed for real-world use, this drill press combines durability with thoughtful features that streamline setup and repeatability. The machine ships with a laser, an overhead LED light, a depth stop, and a beveling worktable, all anchored by a solid cast iron base that stays steady under load. If you want a reliable work companion for frequent bench-side drilling, this model is built to stand up to steady use.

Pinpoint control you can rely on

With mechanical variable speed anywhere from 580 to 3100 RPM, you can dial in the perfect speed for different materials and bit sizes. The digital RPM readout keeps you informed at a glance, reducing guesswork and helping you reproduce precise results across sessions. The spindle uses an MT2 taper, paired with a 5/8-inch chuck for compatibility with a wide variety of bits, while onboard chuck key storage helps keep your workspace organized.

• Digital speed readout displays current RPM for consistent results
• MT2 spindle taper with 5/8-inch capacity chuck offers versatility with many bits
• Onboard chuck key storage keeps the work area tidy

Laser guidance and practical convenience

The integrated X pattern laser marks the drill point with clear crosshairs, reducing measurement guesswork and helping you avoid misaligned holes that waste material. An overhead LED work light stays on as you drill, illuminating your stock and ensuring visibility even in tight or shaded areas.

Stable, adjustable workspace

The 9-1/2 by 9-1/2 inch cast iron worktable bevels 45 degrees left and right, letting you approach angled holes with confidence. A depth stop supports repeatable drilling depth, while a table extension and a sturdy 10 by 16 inch base provide mounting stability so the machine remains steady during operation.

Everything you need in one trusted package

Predrilled holes on the base enable quick mounting to a benchtop or stand, and a protective two-year warranty backs the purchase. With a balanced motor, ball bearing construction, and solid cast iron components, the DP1263V is designed for durable performance and long service life.
