HF has quite a few things that sell for less than the cost of the metal, at least when on sale, coupons, etc. However, even the steel is rather sub par, and often will need reinforcement to operate as described. I look at it as building a kit. If you are willing to add a little sweat equity, then you can end up with something pretty nice for what you need. If you expect things to be turn-key ready to work, you are dreaming, or just lucky.
Nice job on the press there. I would probably do something similar, but can't justify the space at the moment.
Long arc, short arc, heliarc and in-the-dark!
