I've been looking for a larger bandsaw and came across a 1998 Laguna Resaw Master for sale. It's made by ACM, has a 4.8hp Italian motor and Laguna guides. It's of the vintage that's painted light gray and says "Laguna Tools 18" on the upper door. I have a couple of questions about this saw.
1. What's the general opinion of this saw, and how does it compare to current Laguna/ACM saws?
2. Apparently the Resaw Master will take up to a 2" blade. Is this just a matter of the blade actually fitting on the saw, or does it have a stiffer/stronger frame than the standard 18" bandsaw? Does it have any other feature the standard 18" saw doesn't have?
3. The asking price is $2000. This seems like it might be a little high, but I'm not really sure. Any thoughts on what these typically sell for used? Thanks!
