Looking for a band saw (meat)

[wolf]

Hi guys as you know im butchering for hunters and farmers etc and its growing looks like ive come to that point im going to need a big bandsaw prefer a meat one commercial ,
Missed out on one other day for 500 bucks a Berkel (brio) dont want to break the bank as it doesnt get used alot.
So asking if any of you know of one kicking around in a barn or a grandparents shop thats not being used etc etc etc...budget is as cheap as possible of course but id go as high as 800.00 if its good.

Id really appreciate it thanks guys

never mind. Sounds like you might want something bigger

yeah those things are tiny and really a POS blade goes crooked and if you try and tighten it to much the blade hops off the drive and comes at you ... trust me on that one.....

I’ve seen them on the gov auction, Roy. A few times. Nothing there right now though.

Those little ones were great on deer and frozen fish and stuff but when I was trying to do a 8 inch pork chop not enough steam need something with more power
