All

Am in the market for a new drill press - searchs on this forum shows that 38142 has a good following/is often recommended. My local HF store has both the 142 and the 144 at $239.99 (before the 20% coupon). From what I can see on the HF site (and by visiting the store), the 142 & 144 are the same press - with the exception of the longer post on the 144.

Since I've got the floor space avail, for the money, the 144 looks like the best buy.....or am I missing something?

Thanks

Jim
