By all means whatever you get, get the finest you can afford. Buying cheep is false economy and you will just be buying it again. Don't be afraid of imports so long as they are made well. Actually pretty much everything is import anyway, even the name brands. Just beware there are cheep imports as well. I like to have two- one floor model for general purpose and one radial type press for drilling pin blocks, (I use the "in the piano" technique). These actually come with a floor stand but you won't use that. Some modifications are required but they arn't that big a deal. Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV
