FWIW, I just picked up a great little 1/2" drill press at Harbor Freight in Salem, OR this morning for only $39 Regular price is $79. I just assembled it and tried it out. Great little machine. It has a 2-inch stroke and 5 speeds.
I don't know whether only this store was featuring it or whether its system wide, but here's the item.
