First Blades for 14" Laguna 14BX

[John Kananis]

On a 14" saw, I would not go with any blades over 1/2". You just can't tension a 3/4" blade adequately in them, in my experience.

Steve, completely agree if we're talking cast iron but the 14bx is a steel frame saw. I have a 3/4 in mine right now.

I think this depends on the saw. Some 14" saws are more equivalent to bench top units others seam more stout. I have the 14suv and it does a pretty good job with the 3/4 it claims it can do 1" but I thought that may push it.

Same. Zero issues, I use my 3/4" more than any other blade.
