does it drill round holes

I only drill square holes with mine.

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?

Yes you can, just be careful when ever you do this.

What is the maximum width of material you are drilling (from drill center to hitting the pole)?

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.

ease of putting together

It's really easy to put together. Just took me round 5-10 minutes.
