It's somehow seems ironic that I'm am sitting here recommending a bandsaw
when I can hardly type because I put a knuckle in to one, two days ago. A
$100 and 3 stitches later I'm doing fine. ( That's $33 per stitch ) I know
which saw I'm not reccommending!

Now to bandsaws!
For under $300 your best bet is a taiwanese copy of the rockwell 14 inch saw.
It cuts up to 6 in thick and 14 in wide. They can be bought in most liquidation
tool stores for between $200 and $300. The Rockell saw cost between $500 and
$600. Inca makes a real nice saw. It's a 10 inch and also for between
$500 and $600. I hope this is some help.

ps	I cannot recommend old green saws. All they really cut well are
	knuckles.
