Have a look at the Record Power Tools machines
I too suggest Record Power. This one is top of your budget. I do not own one myself, and will leave it for others to suggest alternatives:

May I suggest that you contact contact Charnwood, Record Power and Sheppach UK to see if they have an agent or stockist on the Isle of Man. That way your daughter is better supported with any questions she may have about set up, use and repairs.
Which charnwood would you suggest looking at.
Great idea, have just done so
..depends on how much you want to spend??....They currently do a 12" package deal on a BP300P for £649, or another £50 will get you the 14" BS350, but this does not include the spare blade and "wheel kit" which I think is quite a usefull option to get. If you are happy with a 10" you can get the B250P and save yourself over £200.....you pays your money ...........
Can I suggest that you gift her the money and let her choose it herself.
Trying to buy a technical gift for someone who knows more about her subject, her needs and preferences than you do, based on the opinions of strangers, sounds like a recipe for disaster.
If she doesn't know, it will help her if she has to research a little and make her own informed choice.
If she makes the purchase herself with money gifted, her consumer rights are much stronger than if you buy for her. She's not party to your contract so has no rights at all as recipient, just some limited protection depending on the terms of sale from the seller you buy from.
Oh, and as pointed out by Martin Lewis on the TV the other day :
Distance selling regulations give a buyer 15 days to decide if they want to keep something and if not, to give written notice to the vendor. They then have a further 15 days to return it.
If you buy a bandsaw for your daughter for Christmas and send it to her, there's a real chance that your 15 day right of return window will have expired before she can receive it + have time to set it up + try it out and find there's something that really doesn't suit her. She then may have to agonise and go through you to notify a return all within that 15 days and at Christmas.
Let her choose and better, let her buy it.

States 'Collection Only from Dukinfield, Greater Manchester'
Ostiatools resell ex education equipment. They're an established name on the used machinery scene. No opinion good or bad, just that they've been trading for a while.
As the listing states, they will pallet ship most anything they sell so it's just a question of cost. Maybe £100 per pallet. Possibly more to account for the cost of the pallet, strapping and wrap.
Of course it will cost a similar amount to send it back if the buyer doesn't like it so thst's £200 odd at risk.
