User questions & answers

Question:	What country is this drill press manufactured
Answer:	Great question. It’s designed in the United States. But manufactured in China. But it is of good heavy quality.
Question:	does white glove delivery indicate setting up the machine
Answer:	167 lbs you assemble it on the floor then you have one person hold down the base well you stand it up. sounds to me that 167 lbs is to much for you to lift and if soo you should probly buy a smaller one that you can lift on your own. there always a chance of knocking it over and if your too wimpy to pick it up then you could get stuck under it if it fell on you.
Question:	does this drill press have a laser
Answer:	No it does not have a laser.
Question:	does this drill have a mechanical speed adjustment
Answer:	Yes Andrew, this press has a 3 pulley head arrangement that permits 16 speed possibilities from 200 to 3360 rpm at the spindle/ chuck. This is my favorite drill press in 44 years of professional building and mill experience. Highly recommend!

User questions & answers

Question:	ease of putting together
Answer:	It's really easy to put together. Just took me round 5-10 minutes.
Question:	What is the maximum width of material you are drilling (from drill center to hitting the pole
Answer:	i think the varied answers come from questions getting sent to people who have purchased different sizes. I noticed some of the reviews are also for other models. This item, the WEN 4208 has an 8-inch swing. So, you can drill the center of an 8- inch diameter object, or about 4- inches from drill center to body. The WEN 4210 & the WEN 4212 have 10- inch swings. Anyone trying to drill the center of a 9- inch wheel would need one of these models. This 4208 is a Great drill for the money. i like that the head can be swung over the edge of a work bench, which allows for drilling into long stock. Like into the bottom center of a 36" post. The beveling work table is another great feature & one i did not have on the press this will replace. If you have the space, consider the WEN 4214 with 12-Inch swing. it is still small enough to be bench top, but you can drill the center of 12- inch/ bowls & table tops.
Question:	Can you rotate the drill press on this unit 90 degrees, so that it hangs off the edge of the workbench, to drill into the ends of longer pieces of stock
Answer:	Yes you can, just be careful when ever you do this.
Question:	does it drill round holes
Answer:	I only drill square holes with mine.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where can I get a manual for this drill press
Answer:	As answered you can get a copy of the manual from Grizzly or from Amazon.http://cdn0.grizzly.com/manuals/w1668_m.pdfandhttp://ec1.images-amazon.com/media/i3d/01/A/man-migrate/MANUAL000041994.pdfThey are not identical (40 pages on the Grizzly website, and 27 on the Amazon page).On difference is the depth stop. On the Grizzly site it is a jam nut on the depth stop rodon the left side, on the Amazon it is set on a collar lock knob on the spindle on the right side.My drill press has both depth stops, but the spindle does not have the depth label, and is notmentioned in the manual that came with the drill. When using the oscillating sander feature itcould be damaged if either stop is set.
Question:	Trying to find a replacement belt for the oscillating sander portion (X1668061), anyone know where to find these online
Answer:	I'd been wondering this myself... The Stock part on my W1668 is not a belt, but rather a polyurethane o-ring. The closest analogue I could find was here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051Y2LSO/ref=biss_dp_t_asn If you want true OEM parts, you can call Woodstock international at (360) 734-3482 7AM-5PM PST/PDT M-F
Question:	Is this a jt33 Taper Chuck, anyon eknow, i want to geta keyless for it
Answer:	Yes. Page 14 of the manual supplied with the drill press says, "The drill chuck is seated to the spindle with a JT-33 tapered surface and a screw."
Question:	Can I get this model drill press without damage
Answer:	Also..it's a GREAT drill press!

User questions & answers

Question:	Regarding the Augsburg model, during a meal, how does one distinguish the salt grinder from the pepper grinder
Answer:	Most likely not. In order to sell at the price they do, they aren't made with the highest quality (although very acceptable) materials or with repair-ability in mind. My advice - by another one. I love mine :)

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this to grind cooked meat
Answer:	Yes, it is BPA free. I ordered directly from Amazon in November 2016 and the unit that arrived states "All materials that come in contact with food are BPA free."
Question:	Can I use this to grind cooked meat
Answer:	There's two buttons: one spins the blade in the direction of the sharp side and the other button spins the blade in the opposite direction. You must hold the buttons to operate.
Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	I cannot stop laughing at all the bra comments. Everyone really made my night, thank you. :) It’s bra free and BPA free. :)
Question:	Is it bpa free
Answer:	Many food processors are pretty loud but this one is fairly quiet. I love this machine because it's not so big or heavy and quiet
Question:	Does this chopper have BPA free plastic
Answer:	Yes I have used this device to chop almonds.
Question:	how do you operate it
Answer:	I don't think you can make dough with this. It's basically just for chopping, smaller than needed to make dough. and would get all gummed up.
Question:	is it bra free
Answer:	Hi, this manual food processor can chop, blend and puree ingredients i.e. hard vegetables like carrots. I recommend to add the steak meat into bit sized pieces and chop to the desired texture. Hope this helped ;)
Question:	Is this fairly quiet or is it noisy? My current machine howls ike a damned soul in torment, which is why it is gathering dust in the cupboard
Answer:	Yes, I had the same question. So, very carefully, I pulled the plastic blade (the flat plastic blade closest to the steel blades) downward and slowly worked it off using even pressure all around. Then I slipped off the safety cover. The plastic blade can then be reattached by re-aligning the ring. Thanks everyone for the advice.

User questions & answers

Question:	How tall are they
Answer:	They measure at 6 inches tall
Question:	are the copper accents really copper or jusrt a painted accent material
Answer:	Copper accents. It would cost more for the real thing. And why have the real thing when the copper accents don't tarnish like copper. I have been using the stainless steel accents for over three years and they still look like new.
Question:	How do I keep the salt crystals dry? They are damp and not grinding well in the salt grinder. Otherwise beautiful
Answer:	Suggest keeping smaller amount in it and cleaning the grinding mechanism often if as seems the thing is in humid environment. Coarse salt always does that and this is a common problem...why salt grinder is ceramic instead of metal. Metal ones will eventually corrode. We have same (typical) issue but with care, not so much.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone made scuppernong pies or cobblers with this food mill? My present food mill reacted with the fruit and discolored it
Answer:	it's not really the best option for meats
Question:	Will it remove seeds and skin from raw tomatoes
Answer:	not really the best option for meats
Question:	I have arthritis in hands, I want something for mashed potatoes, egg salads, etc. Would this or the Oxo Adjustable Ricer be better for me
Answer:	Made in the kingdom of "don't buy it" It does well with soft foods, but good luck with meats.
Question:	HOW DOES IT WORK WITH BLACKBERRIES
Answer:	I have no idea. I bought it to smush chunky cat food to a "pate" consistency for my senior cat. Great idea - not so great on the execution. It took A LOT of effort to get the right consistency, and it also kept oozing out of the sides. I should have been proactive and returned it, but I didn't. It's currently taking up space in an upper cupboard. *sigh*

User questions & answers

Question:	Does have the option to measure purely in ounces (i.e display 40 oz instead of 2lb 8oz
Answer:	I found the manual online which makes it clear you can do this. "Press the Unit Button to switch between measuring in ounces, ounces and pounds, grams, or grams and kilograms."
Question:	OXO has another 11 pound model that is $10.00 cheaper. What is the difference and why is this one $10.00 more
Answer:	The one that's $10.00 cheaper is the immediately preceding model to this one. Its about 4 years older. I had it and loved using it and only replaced it when it went bad. The cheaper one is not as slick, a bit more kludgy when it comes to using it but by no means difficult, has a bit of a smaller display screen etc. But its a perfectly worthy machine. The new one is a generation newer and carries both the style and utility benefit of having a generation more to learn from. I'm very happy with it and was very happy with the older one too.
Question:	The previous model had an infuriating tendency to turn off automatically if a weighing task took too much time. Does this one turn off automatically
Answer:	This model does not turn off supposedly for about a half an hour. I have never had it on that long so I don’t know if that’s actually the time. But it does remain on for as long as 15 minutes.
Question:	Does this model have the backlight? Also, what is the difference between the newest version
Answer:	It does have a back light but I was really disappointed with the 2018 version and sent it back. The earlier version is still available and in my opinion is a much better device. The big difference is that the new one doesn’t do fractions it only does decimals and only to one numeral ( 1.2 ounces or 1.3, not 1.25 so no 1/4 oz equivalent). I need to be able to measure 1/8 of an ounce, 1/4 of an ounce, etc. The only way to do that in the new one is to use grams and I found the gram measurements on the new one to be wildly inconsistent compared to the old one. Instead of a button that switches between grams and ounces It switches between grams and kilograms and then ounces and pounds and then ounces. That means that every time you switch between grams and ounces you actually have to push the button multiple times. First it switches from grams to kilograms and then it switches to ounces and then to ounces and pounds. Hated it! Love the old one!

User questions & answers

Question:	do they perhaps also make a companion salt mill
Answer:	Yes they do. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_13?url=search-alias%3Dgarden&field-keywords=oxo+salt+mill&sprefix=OXO+salt+mill%2Caps%2C316
Question:	Can it be used for spices, coriander, etc
Answer:	For small spices, like tellicherry peppercorns or coriander, you'll need to keep the grind fairly fine so they don't fall through. It works well on everything large and small, from chiltepin to coriander. I have 6 of these above my stove with various colored peppercorns, seeds, and Szechuan and pepperbush berries.
Question:	does have one have experience with its longevity? does it need to be replaced after awhile
Answer:	I am today replacing my daily, heavily used pepper mill after over 6 years use. This is a great product that I have loved. Mine stayed pristine white and while it may be able to be fixed I've decided to buy another one. I'm not sure why it broke. Anyway, for the price, I surely got my money's worth.

Question:	Is the grinding mechanism plastic or metal
Answer:	It IS ceramic. Ceramic mechanisms are usually white and look like plastic, but are not plastic. They will outlive a metal mechanism and you can use them for salt (the will not corrode'/rust. You also do not have to worry when using it over a pot of boiling soup, since the steam will also not harm the ceramic mechanism.
