have a shot at a Laguna LT16
I have seen many of the negative reviews about laguna overall
I could use a bandsaw with higher resaw capacity for resawing woods for my guitar building
Currently have a 70s Rockwell 14" - fine for profile cutting but quite wasteful when I attempt resawing
I don't have the budget to buy a really nice tool around the $1500 range, $500 would probably be my absolute max for the time being. Another option would be to hold out until budget improves and I can afford something better .
Two current options
older Laguna LT16 $450 "italian model" - certainly seems to be lacking all of the modern amenities by the looks of the photo vs current models
342600
Grizzly G0513X $875
The griz price doesn't seem fabulous for the saw costing about $1100 new
Laguna price seems maybe gloat worthy if nothing is wrong with it
Should I race to the Laguna and see if it checks out?
