I live in Atlanta, and have two each of Woodcraft and Rockler, along with Highland and Peachtree woodworking. I'm sure I'm missing some, but those are the main ones I frequent. I am very glad to have...
I actually really like it, but I will say that I don't have extensive experience with other brands, or even extensive use of this particular miter saw. I tend to use it for cutting stick lumber, but...
Well, this is embarrassing, but I wanted to provide resolution, especially if anyone in the future has similar symptoms. The blade was just slightly loose. I tore apart a good amount of the saw...
So I checked the brushes, and they seem to be fine to me516597
I checked the belt, the belt seems fine. It does spin, but I don't know if it is in my head or not that it feels notchy when I'm...
That's great insight! I'll take a look at the brushes to see their condition. The blade does seem to spin just fine when I rotate by hand, but I'll check again too.
I've had this miter saw since 2020, and it has been great so far, though I'm not a heavy user. Recently, it has been making an odd sound.
Here is a video of what I'm experiencing:

I did a quick search and found some options:

I would personally also consider a polyurethane construction adhesive that you would apply with a caulking gun
When it comes to the oil I use in the saw, I always stick to the same brand of the saw - mine are all pro Stihl saws. I personally don't think it is worth the risk to try to save a bit of money when...
Good luck! While I've had other issues with Laguna's customer service, the 18BX has been a great machine for me, and I hope it continues to work as I expect!
If you are looking to save costs on shipping, what I did when I bought my 18 BX many years ago, was order it through my local woodcraft so that it would be delivered to the store for free. Then I...
one simple tool that I didn't see mentioned is a card scraper. They are relatively cheap, and you can buy a set with curves too. I use a carbide burnisher, but I saw a fancy small one recently that...
a jigsaw with a bimetal blade would be good enough for a rough cut.
I really only use them for utility purposes. Our dining chairs were starting to creak and pop when applying a lot of pressure in the center. The only way to add support easily was to add a stretcher...
I am in the camp of centering the gullet when possible. I have a Laguna 18BX, so I often will use it with a resaw king blade that is 1.25" wide, so when it comes to the wider blades, I just center...
I have the Laguna. I still use it, but I really want to replace it with a full size lathe, as I have had issues with mine. When I got it, I was still primarily doing pens and small work, but I've...
I also have the milwaukee angle drill, and really like when I can use it with the roloc 3 inch mandrels. I bought mine from woodturnerswonders. I am still working through the sandpaper that I bought...
there are a number of youtube videos that give some good information. The one in particular that I recall is from the channel "pask makes", I believe he has a number of kumiko videos now. They do...
With my circle cutting jig, I actually use the 1/2" blade, but I am doing bowl blanks for the lathe, so typically larger in diameter and thicker as well. I didn't make it clear in my initial post,...
For your general work, how thick will the stock be that you are cutting? The thicker the stock, the fewer the TPI you will want. For my main uses of the bandsaw, I'm prepping a lot of bowl blanks,...
I'll just add my experience with Laguna. I have an 18BX and keep two 1.25" resaw kings on hand, one that I'm using, and one as a spare to put on while the other is sent out, or if I destroy the one...
do you have a chainsaw mill, or access to one?
I did this about 6 months ago, and what I found to work quite efficiently, was to use the mill to mill a thick slab that I wanted to be the depth of...
I have an 18 BX, so the saws you are looking at are a level above.
If you are going to have a carbide tipped blade on it, I'd get the largest diameter wheels you can. Those saws you are looking at...
If your baldor has 8" wheels, you can also look into a sharpening jig system. Most of us around here use the Oneway Wolverine setup, but there are many options now. Before I bought the wolverine...
