Hi Garson
I have been looking into purchasing a bandsaw for some time now, you can get a pretty good bargain on e-bay if you go for a quality make MSC/Startrite/Hammer/Felder. as they are heavy and it's always collect only it reduces the people bidding(or seems to) so if you can sort delivery you could get a bargain. i was thinking of getting a Hammer but was looking on e-bay @ the Holzmann and they seem to be a bit of decent kit, wanted a free standing one but just saw this the other day
HOLZKRAFT HBS 352 - BAND SAW, GERMAN BAND SAW, BEST PRICE IN EUROPE | eBay
and might try and find some more info.
Regards
Mik
