Portable bandsaw

[leadpig]

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced portable bandsaw.
Was looking at the dewalt DCS378N-XJ but can't justify or afford £350.
Will mainly be using it for replacing finials on railings etc.
Don't mind if it's corded or battery

It's good and nice to use for a while. Mine failed after a while as the casting is less than a mm in some critical places.

There are no low cost band saws. I did a post showing all the available bandsaws about 12 months ago.

I'd look for a good used Milwaukee M18 one

Bit late now, red army way over priced anyway, although they do a better range of stuff
