%!$ Easy Diy Woodworking Bench Plans For You #!@

laguna-14bx-blade-length-update Mick S Posted October 2, Eric Gorges of A Craftsman's Legacy has decided to build a new woodworking shop. Blade changes are no problem. Add to Wish List. Weather I would need that or not is another topic for discussion! Like any elngth, it takes a laguna 14bx blade length update to figure out how to adjust properly, but once you do get it adjusted it is awesome. A 14" saw, stalling on.

We used it to resaw 10, lineal feet of Cypress shingles with it, as fast as the wood could be pushed through the saw-boards to a heaping pickup load of shingles in 2 hours. I've used it for resawing other stuff with it multiple times since that job, and am still using the same blade. A saw like that would have an easy time with what you want one to do. I'm afraid you will be dissapointed with the new saws you are looking at, as far as their capability goes.

I also have a 14" Delta, that belonged to my Dad, that has every available upgrade, so I am pretty familiar with what a 14" saw will do. I sold all the little used resaw blades I bought to try after the first day of use with the big guy. I leave the 24" set up for resawing. Your shop has plenty of room for one. Whats that like You was moving Tom Cancelleri. It didn't take 10, lineal feet to fill up a pickup. I didn't count how many truck loads we got out of it.

First we ripped it on a tablesaw without a fence to get rid of sapwood, and put a cut in the center of the arc of growth rings. The next step was to cut the 8' boards into 2' lengths. I tied the switch on a chop miter saw. One helper pushed the board to the stop. I chopped the cut as fast as I could slam the saw down with my left hand, and handed the cutoff to the other helper who stacked them next to the bandsaw.

All tools were stationed so fewest footsteps possible were made. I made a sled that the 2" board rode on to cut two tapered shingles out of it. I pulled the sled back, first helper put a 2' board on, I pushed it through maybe 2 seconds-took 20 to 30 seconds on the 14" saw , and other helper took the two shingles off the sled, and stacked them in the truck, that was backed up close to the saw.

The sled has safety stops on it, so no hand was every anywhere near the blade. The finished work can be seen on the Cypress shingles page on my website.

This is not a hobby for me. The work is expensive, even at high efficiency. If I wasn't efficient, no one could afford it. I found the Jet to be quite nice and I was feeling very comfortable with a possible purchase. Another dealer had the older Jet 14" on the showroom floor which seemed okay, and the Laguna 14" SUV right next to it which was also okay and I was able to give each a look and touch.

Stopping at this point, I was leaning toward the 15" Jet still sight unseen. Then a complication set in The more I looked, the more I began to like the 18 BX. Following a walk around the store to look at the many goodies the first time I had been there , I stopped back at the machine and conversed with the salesperson.

Needless to say, I am giving very serious consideration to the Laguna 18 BX to the point that I think I am leaning toward it. The search and research continues. Have you made a final decision, Alan? I really miss not having this on my Laguna since I have been using a Laguna 16HD for years that does have it. It's one of those features that if you've never used it no big deal but once you have you will really miss it, at least in my opinion. The ceramic guides are one reason I picked the 14 SUV over other models in this class, of which there really are none, not to me, anyway.

After using the saw for two years I can tell you they are still holding up well and don't show any signs of needing to be replaced. I'm leaning the same way. Northern NM is kind of a no man's land for woodworking machinery, with the exception of Woodworkers Supply in Albuquerque. I'm not a big fan. I'm heading out to the Felder open house at the end of the month and plan on stopping by Laguna Tools to get a touchy feely with all their bandsaws.

The 18 BX really looks like a lot of bang for the buck.

The handle of this spatula is turned, and the end is shaped using the bandsaw and sanding. Make more than one, everyone you know will want a spatula. I like to build arts and crafts style furniture, and many pieces have a gentle curve that graces the lower stretcher.

No amount of adjustment could bring it flat. I was sent a new table and this didn't fix the problem. While changing the table again I noticed that one side of the trunnion mount was milled more deeply than the other. Customer support sent me a new trunnion and that solved the problem - table is now perfect. The saw has vibrated since day one. I have had on a number of different brands and sizes of blades and the vibration is the same.

The saw does not pass the "nickle test". The product description says "almost no detectable vibration" - yeah right. I mean, I can use the saw, but I always notice the vibration. Customer support first sent a new set of tires - no effect. They then sent a new lower wheel - no effect. Then an upper wheel - no effect. I spent too much money on a set of Carter tires because the Laguna ones didn't seem to cover the entire wheel and they actually helped a little. Customer support has been friendly and has at least tried to replace some parts, but I still have the excessive vibration.

For the money this saw costs, I want it to be as advertised. This has more vibration than any bandsaw I've ever used. I've spent more time messing with the saw and waiting for parts than cutting wood - changing wheels, tires, tables, etc. This is just unacceptable for a 14 inch bandsaw that costs this much.

I purchased the saw over 6 months ago now, and my issue is still not resolved. Find a Store. My Account. My Cart. Go to Home Page.
