Hi All, I am a hobby woodworker from Colorado. I am having an issue with Laguna Tools warranty on their Resaw King blades I wanted to share and see what experience others have had.
I purchased two blades 18 months ago. Buy one get the second half price. The first blade lasted until two weeks ago which is a testament on how good they are. It finally got dull and I pulled out the other one and installed it. It broke within a week. About 15 inches from the weld. Laguna says I'm out of luck because they only warranty them for 6 months.
I was using it on a Felder FB610. It was set up and tensioned properly. I was ripping a 3" piece of white oak. I had cut a lot of the same material in the same way with the exact same set up with the first blade.
I guess my issue is how come they won't replace a defective blade? I understand warranties have to be for a certain time frame, but what is a customer to do when you buy a spare blade and don't know its defective until you finally get around to using it?
I'm mostly just venting here, but wanted others to be aware of this situation before they make the same mistake. I'd like to here from others if they have any similar experience. And, I don't want to start a Laguna bashing session either.
Thanks, Marty
