laguna-woodworking-tools-canada-72 I called Laguna and the rep woodwroking I laguna woodworking tools canada 72 a new switch. I ended up sending the new switch lguna to them. Please wait Thanks for the post Chris. Basically have two belts side by side to try and see if that would work. It has taken me three different episodes with other experienced machinists and woodworkers, armed with several hundred dollars of measuring tools to get close. Orders make take days for processing and shipping.

Site Information.

We are open for online orders. We are experiencing very high order volumes and orders may take days for processing. All orders are processed first come first serve. I have looked at other Laguna tools in the past several years — but have always opted to go with something that is more easily obtained here in Ontario, and has some easier recourse if a problem occurs.

I, too, always prefer to buy machinery locally. Besides supporting local businesses, it means being able to examine things first hand and go pick up parts instead of waiting for them to arrive by mail. Hi, Andrew.. I was nominated by a friend, and it was a complete surprise. Pretty cool, I have to admit!

Good for you! Hey guys, check out the dirt on Laguna on LumberJocks. More or less the same disasterous Customer Service you describe here but more grist for the mill.

I have purchased the Laguna Fusion Table saw from Rockler. Rockler will not even talk to me about the saw, but instead passes you on to Laguna. I have been assembling it for 2 weeks so far. It looks like it was written by someone who knows about table saws in general, but never saw mine!!

Spare yourself the frustration that I went through. Not one thing precise. Worth it to get rid of that pile. I am in the camp that believes that when you buy machinery, regardless of the cost,, your going to be pulling some wrenches and fixing things.

I have a Felder RL Dust collector that has burned up 2 x run capacitors. I could go on and on about the troubles I have had with new machinery..

You make the adjustments, pull some wrenches.. Hi all, I am enlightened by this forum and thank everyone that has made a contribution. I am certainly better educated on purchasing a Laguna bandsaw or any product for that matter.

It would appear that my own intuition has perhaps failed me in assuming the Laguna name meant the highest quality. As for my purchasing a Laguna product, I though it was a hands down decision…now I am considering alternatives even if it means spending more in the short term… Thanks again to all contributors, we do make a difference when we voice our experiences! As for Torben… Hope your paying attention.

Since you must not have done your homework, Or really spoken with anyone credible I must disassociate from you. I have found my Laguna saw a mixture of bad thinking and inferior part manufacture. If you recommend them, then you must have some sort of repayment or alliance. But you surely cannot be trusted. I am guessing that, based on the content of your comment, you meant to direct it at me, not Cal. If so, I can assure you that I have no alliance with Laguna nor did I receive any compensation for writing the review.

Your judgement of me is completely inaccurate. While looking at new band saws at my local tool merchant, I was approached by another customer. I have been using my Laguna SE14 powered by a 3HP Baldor for about ten years now and it has been a good saw for resawing and tenon cutting.

When I first received it I had to spend some time tuning it up. The fence rail holes needed to be elongated so the fence would slide parallel to the table. I also had to shim the throat plate. No big deal. It was originally wired for V and I installed a V line to the shop. I called Laguna and the rep said I needed a new switch.

When I opened up the original switch, it was already capable for V. I ended up sending the new switch back to them. IMO Laguna makes tools that are capable with a little bit of work. Castings are rough but the parts are beefy. In contrast, my Swiss made Inca machines and Sawstop are precise and ready to go right out of the box. I know if I ever buy a Laguna tool again, it will take some work and time to get things running right.

Just wondering if your LT 16 is still working good for you as I see you mentioned earlier of a update with Laguna and Canadian Woodworker. I am looking at a lightly used LT saw in Winnipeg that apparently came from there store in BC. What flaws do you think need remedying? I have a Minimax SP and want to use this saw for everything but resawing. So nothing to really be concerned about then in your opinion?

As it sounds like this is your old saw. OK Wayne, Let us know the problems you are having. I have spoken to Wayne and his partner. They claim that we have mislead them on how fast the machine can cut. They took this to mean that they would be able to cut at inches per minute. I explained thoroughly that it is the material and the bit that ultimately determines the cut speed.

They purchased the IQ to primarily cut acrylic. Acrylic is typically cut at no more that inches per minute. Any faster and cut quality is diminished. This limitation applies to any CNC regardless of size, cost or horsepower. They also mentioned that they could not cut a circle when the machine arrived. This machine shipped from California to St. Lucia in the Caribbean. Every machine is tested and the test board sent with the machine. They called customer service and we were able to trouble shoot the machine and fix any issues due to shipping.

Finally, Laguna Tools has offered Wayne a full refund on his machine purchase. We kindly declined and the offer for the full refund still stands. Must be three years ago now I bought a Laguna bandsaw from Woodwerks online, great company, and have used it extensively to rewaw with the resaw king blade I bought with it. I have to lean into it to make it bog down but it will.

Well hey, just my take. The service guy even drops by the shop when in the area you just cant beat that, If any of us guys out there had customer service like laguna we would have No business. My biggest challenge has been how incredibly frustrating it is to get the fence-to-blade runout dead on. It has taken me three different episodes with other experienced machinists and woodworkers, armed with several hundred dollars of measuring tools to get close.

I also sent off my fence extrusion to have it milled flat it was convex and take. Also, what is with the cheesy stick on logos and panel fronts that start to peel and fall off?

I think someone would have to talk a pretty good line to convince me to buy another Laguna-anything. I just bought and returneda laguna ut was an unbelievable bad experience the tires were so badly out of alignment u couldnt turn tire more than a quarter turn without bladecoming off called laguna whick was a nightmare they wouldnt stand behind there product at all customer service is really bad buyer beware.

I am so glad to read your post for what new tortures are in store for me when the damn thing actually begins to run. To avoid this I have decided to stop wasting time and return to the dealer. No sense trying to resuscitate something dead on arrival.

About a month ago I purchased a used Italian Resaw Master bandsaw. The price was fantastic. Got it to my shop and ordered some replacement ceramic guide blocks as the saw guides were missing the ceramic pieces. I called Laguna and after blaming me for ordering the wrong parts after some pictures they admitted they were mistaken. Then the negotiations on how I was going to get the parts. They initially wanted me to send the parts back before they would send me anything.

They finally agreed to send me the correct parts. In the meantime I also contacted a company called Space Age Ceramics. I told them what I needed the sizes and they sent me the parts in 2 days. I had the saw up and running and a day later the correct Laguna parts arrived after almost 3 weeks total. I stowed the Laguna parts for spares and have been happily resawing since then. Laguna did offer to send me one of their Pro Force blades for the inconvenience.

The saw was awesome for ripping, cutting bowl blanks, and doing small resawing jobs. Laser machines are not what I hoped.

The pics and posted cutting parameters are impressive up front but the SmartShop EC watt tube just does not cut through wood I thought it would even with sharp alignment. Not even close! Hello Tom, it would be nice to know a few more details. I have a Laguna laser and get great results. Perhaps I could help you get better results.

Also, what were your power and speed settings? Are you sure you have the laser focused correctly through the mirrors etc. Still no laser!!!!!! All of the misinformation along with out and out lies. But back to the saw. I do like the fact that most of the sawdust goes to the bottom of the cabinet. Fortunately I had to mount the saw on two by fours because my offcut table is a little taller than the saw. MY two biggest gripes are the slop in the rip fence and the lack of support under the black portion of the throat plate.

The slop in the ripfence is inexcusable. You have to put the fence where you think you want it and then lock it in place to see how the fence will move in relation to the blade and then readjust the fence. Laguna is still supposed to be sending that along with the laser??? I would go elsewhere. You are commenting using your WordPress. Explore Laguna Dust Collectors. Explore Laguna Jointers.
