I just purchase a New Laguna LT14 SUV Bandsaw on 5/26/11 at Woodcarft in Saginaw, MI. I up graded from a 12” Delta Bandsaw…..WOW what a big difference.
I received my bandsaw on 6/2/11. They had a special on the saw and got it for 1495.00 with a Shearforce Blade. They are now 1595.00 with no blade.
I am very pleased with the saw right out of the box. The saw came packaged on a pallet and banded inside a cardboard box. I took the box off and there was a wood frame built around the saw. It was package very well with no damage what so ever.
The saw is very heavy so you will need help to unload it at your shop. They loaded it on my trailer with a forklift. It had to be hauled in the up right position so have a good trailer with heavy straps to hold it in place.
Once I was able to get the saw in my basement wood shop I started putting it together and it took me about 30 min. The directions were very straight forward and easy to follow.
I used 12-2 wire with a 25 amp double breaker to wire it up. If you are not familiar with wiring hire a pro to do this.
I had a new 125 inch 3 TPI steel blade made at a local bandsaw place where they make custom length blades. I am using this blade for resawing. I also just received my Shearforce blade from Laguna and have ordered 4 more blades that have yet to come but, they should arrive tomorrow sometime. I just put my new custom blade on last night and did some resawing.
I only squared the table to the blade and tried a cut on some hard maple. I cut a 1/8 inch vaneer and it cut great with very little effort. I then resawed a piece of red oak and again very nice cut with ease.
I would highly recommend this saw to anyone serious about resawing.
This saw was easy to set up and put together and cut almost perfect right from the factory without hardly any adjustments.
Good job Laguna on a fine product.
