metabo bas 505 g band saw

Does anyone know much about these? Thinking about buying off ebay but doesn't have a blade, although seems in decent condition.

If its the one on for £500.00 it looks over priced to me.

Agreed, are they a good option for a hobbyist? I have a small band saw but i have to cut down boards to 120mm to re saw and wont to get something a bit bigger.

I got my Startrite 352 for that price, single phase with delivery included. A far superior machine IMHO and easy to find in the second hand market. If you’re not in a rush I’d put the £500 to one side and look for one of those instead.

thanks, i was hoping to only pay about £325....Hence looking at this one. (assuming i could get it for that money)
