I visited the local Axminster saw the other day to buy a palm router (Makita) which is great. I watched a brief demo of a scroll saw and I have to admit I was tempted to buy the £80 version. The assistant put me off by trying to convince me I needed the £400.
Last time I thought about buying one of these I bought a used bandsaw which is great and I use it lots already but I think these corners are a little tight even for the thinner blade.

So my question is are these like the bandsaw and suitable for buying second hand and if so can anyone advise on which are the best to buy used.
Oh and of course if anyone knows of one laying in the corner of a workshop somewhere that I can buy that would be great.
