Last I looked Sears had a variable speed for around $175. I got one a few years ago, don't know if they were changing models, getting rid of the old stock or what. Cost me about $35 and works like a charm. That's new, in an unopened box, out of thestore. I knew I'd seen some in the sore earlier at about $150, and I even asked if the price was correct, when I was assurred it was, I grabbed one and walked rapidly out the door. A few days late they had a very slightly different model stoced for about $175. Check your local bargan papers.

JOAT Custom philosophizing done. No job too small; must be indoor work, with no heavy lifting.

There are units with cast iron table under $200, more under $300.

Does that meet your needs?
