I shopped for larger bench top DP about 5 years ago, and ended up picking the Central Machinery 38142 from HF over the Cman, Grizzly, Delta, Ryobi, Hitachi, etc. I think I'd be doing you a disservice not to mention it. It was $144 with coupons....its more than that now, but it's been a surprisingly good performer....smooth, quiet, powewful. Been darn happy with it. One concern with HF might be that the next one won't be as good, but they're return policy is excellent.
