followup to my inquiry yesterday
I was lucky enough to pick up a Laguna LT16 from a local woodworker no longer working
This level of tool is normally far beyond my reach so this is quite the treat for me
I was very excited to find a "Meber" nameplate on the backside of the saw, nothing against Laguna but like all of you I have read the customer service reviews.
Very nice build quality- great tactile feel on every part, no flimsy pieces. Much of my shop is Grizzly which I am thankful for and works well- but this Meber is just on a different level.
12" resaw height - heck yes! Can't wait to cut me up some guitar tops.
The owner recalled upgrading the guides to the ones shown - anyone know what these are called in case I need to replace a worn piece?
It is currently wearing a high TPI 1/4" blade. I will change this out to a 1/2" 4 or 6 tpi asap. I have been gripping a WoodSlicer 3/4" in my drawer for years given to me by a friend. It is 10" too long for this saw so I will try out cutting and rewelding that - Silver solder according to one post on here seems to be the best.
no pics no saw - crappy cell phone pics sorry20160821_171756.jpg20160821_171809.jpg20160821_171935.jpg
