2001 Laguna LT20

[Steve Sylvester]

I have a chance to buy a 2001 Laguna LT20 bandsaw for $2250. It seems to be in good condition. Does that price seem worth it?

[Frank Martin]

Sounds a bit high but depend on the condition and the accessories that it comes with such as blades, guides and perhaps a drift master fence, etc. If it is coming from a commercial setting with a lot of usage and not many accessories may not be the best deal around. It also depends on how frequently these come up in your area. If you are in a location where these don't come up often, may still be a decent deal.

Compare the price to the replacement cost at today's cost. Also try to see it run to make sure it is running properly. I have a 2001 LT18 that has been upgraded to the ceramic guides and it is a real workhorse. I would by Laguna again (actually I did). These are some heavy duty machines.
