Larger machine tool discussions...

I'm in need of a drill press, but dunno which one to buy. I want to buy it in Europe, because shipping from the USA is far too high. I want to spent about $100-$150 on it. Today I went to some shops, and looked at some drill presses, you could really notice the difference on them. There was one for $60, one for $100 and one for $230 or something like that. The one for $60 had on all parts a bit of play, also on the drill chuck about 2-3mm. The one for $100 had a bit less play, and the one for $230 had almost nothing.
So there was (of course) a difference between them. But what are the best price/quality brands? I really don't know for what I should look for. Serum already advised me a 'Ferm', they're cheap and look good.

So, for what Brand should I look for? (Should be avaible in Europe)
