Find your self a used, older (20yrs+) bandsaw; 14" are most common, some 10" & 12" are around. Delta, Walker Turner, Craftsman, Powermatic, Duro are some good names. You'll get a saw that will last a lifetime, NO plastic parts.
Join the site Old WoodWorking Machines-(OWWM)-http://www.owwm.org/
and look around at some of the machines at
VintageMachinery.org | Welcome
which is the "mothership" of OWWM. Some really cool machines and rebuilds done there. Great bunch(22,230) of people with a huge knowledge base.
Or, I have a 4"x 10" Craftsman that I'll let go in the next month or so after I get done restoring my '46 Walker Turner 12".
