This is the cheapest I could find on an iinitial Google. The reviews seem OK, too.

If a scroll saw would be man enough for what you will be cutting
Screwfix do a cheap and cheerful one for about 60 coins of the realm

It is worth looking at this one is Machine Mart - at least you can see it!

With regard to the saw shown in FLJ's link, for the money is ideal for general hobby use. I'd recommend the use of a quality blade and a few minutes spent on setting the guide rollers, etc.
The mitre guide is a perhaps a tad iffy, as too are the cheesy plastic knobs. But all in all, not a bad piece for just £100.00.

Hi, you can always wait until Aldi get them in again, ask at your local shop, good value for the price.
