A band saw is the ideal instrument. Just try to "protect (cover)" the saw and use precaution. Also buy the smallest band saw capable of doing the job. I don't think you will find anything better (or cheaper) for large bones.

  I have been asked to obtain a saw for cutting bone. We have the Mar-Med
presently but its not "big" enough for larger bones. In the past the
institution had a band saw but found it unsafe.

Any suggestions?
