Building a storage shed

All Laguna bandsaws are impressive. They all use cast iron flywheels andthe same Laguna designed ceramic guides. The 14SE is “only” a 14″ saw, butit has 2 hp motor, handles 1″ blades and has 12″ resaw capacity. Insearching the archives, I read lots of praise for their performance andcustomer service. But there’s nothing like seeing one perform in person.

Check their February special and compare to the Bridgewood you mentioned.You said its $900 + shipping. The Laguna is $1145. But that includes amobile kit, shipping, and three blades. It sounds roughly comparable to me.

Laguna band saws are made in Italy and Bulgaria. Their smaller saws(including 14SE) are made in Bulgaria. In the Laguna video, Torben talksabout the manufacturing. The Italian factory (ACM) and Laguna collaborate ondesigns. The Bulgarian factory “does what we tell them to and they do itwell -its a good arrangement”.

All of the engineering design is done by Laguna tools. The only difference Isaw between the 14 and 18 Laguna’s was that the larger had a rack and pinionupper guide adjustment. The 14 simply had a lock knob that you released,then moved the guide up and down with your hand. It moved very easily anddid not seem like a disadvantage to me.

It seems to me that band saws are very, very competitive in the sizes aserious hobbyist or small shop might use. You get what you paid for. Ilooked at all the Grizzly line last night and found you had to move up theirline to get an apples to apples comparison. After shipping, the Grizzly linewas slightly cheaper.

When I talked with Torben yesterday, he indicated all his bandsaws wereequivalent in cutting performance and features – its a matter of choosingcapacity and horsepower. The only saw which he called out as different wasone especially designed to do nothing but resaw. It uses a 2″ wide blade.

Keeping in mind that Laguna is designed to be as good as it can be, itsinteresting to note that the bandsaw tires are glued on and they appear tobe thicker than other machines I looked at. Torben says they glue thembecause its the best way to ensure their stability with higher poweredmachines.
