Draper BS190 Band saw

[caretaker]

I would like any advise on the Draper Band saw BS190.
I will only would use it for hobby work and maybe some wood joints.
It seems about the right price for me £71.90.
Thanks Reg

Hi Reg, be patient and wait until jan 12th, then trot along to your nearest ALDI store and pick up the same thing for £50.00,
Regards, Rich.

Lidl also bring out some remarkably cheap, reasonable quality kit. I've bought six or seven machines from them and I'm waiting for them to come out with a 1/2" router.

Years ago I met a Black and Decker design engineer who told me that DIY drills had a life expectancy of 6 hours use whilst professional had 100 hours.

Makes you think?
