yea i know they will go way up, and i'm sure the second one will go over. However i can get the first one new, within budget. So ill see how the auctions go first. I'll keep a look out for 315's too, thanks.

Whilst trawling ebay i've noticed two potential band saws. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT The one above can be picked up new for £350 delivered so thats still within budget. However branded as Metabo not EB. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT...
