Clarke CBS350 Bandsaw - open to alternative suggestions

[ljkenny]

So I've been looking around for a bandsaw. Hoping to spend ~£500 mark.

I know that it's best to wait around for a secondhand Startrite to pop upon eBay, but I am impatient (normal?).

The Clarke CBS350 looks like a bit of a beast for the price (1100W motor, 340mm throat depth, LED light, extraction port):

What do you guys think? Do you have any other suggestions?

Also been looking at the competing Record Power, Metabo, Scheppach and Axminster variants.

Look for a second hand Record BS400. There are loads of reviews on this site.

There doesn't seem to be any available currently.

How often do they come up?

Am I likely to be waiting weeks/months for an opportunity?
