Does anyone have a recommendation of a nice drill press for around 200 bones. Would like one that will go to around 200 rpm.

Look for an old Delta/Rockwell. I found one on e-bay last year i think with a "buy it now" for $60.00 and the person was local. Granted it doesn't go down to 200rpm but a pulley change or two can fix that easy enough.

Think i might just get the Rigid one from Home Depot and do a pulley change on it. It is only $299.

What about this one. This one also comes in a floor model with the same specs.

I have a 10% off coupon for Lowe's. Is this one worth the money.

I don't know about any of the stuff made today, all i know is the OLD Delta/Rockwell stuff is a very good choice.
Scott has the right idea, look used. Craigslist is your friend. I doubt you'll get a very nice machine new in that price range.
