Older Laguna Bandsaw LT16HD

[Scott Felicetti]

Hello,
anyone know what the resaw capacity was on these from back around 2004? 13" or 16". If the specs say 13" can I stretch it to 14" by mods or otherwise?
thanks.

I think it is 13 inches (based on the "Classic" 16HD that is still available and listed on Laguna's site). I am not sure about stretching it an extra inch -- I know on my older LT18 with Euro guides that I can only get 12 inches -- you might be able to tweak it a little, but I think that when Laguna switched to the ceramic guides from the Euro guides they were able to gain the extra inch (from 12 to 13). A few years later they stretched the frame to the current resaw capacities.

I have one with the ceramic guides, it's 13" and I don't see any way you could stretch it.
