That is why they have the 30 day guarantee and it is great that you got to take advantage of it. I find the DC to be excellent for all sizes of bits, but I mostly work wood and not solid surface so...

I think that the OF2200 is one of the best power tools ever made. It is an engineering marvel and worth every penny in my opinion. As others have stated, the controls and ergonomics are great and...

I love Laguna's ceramic guides...the best guide system I have used. The retrofit on my 11 year old LT18 was pretty straight forward and well worth the money. I do not find them hard to adjust at...

I have the Hammer and have had it for about 5 years now and it works great. The motor and a lot of parts are the same as the upper line of Felder so the quality is there. What you sacrifice is a...

I have a Fein and love it -- very high quality and great power. Very useful in the shop too for all kinds of cutting tasks. I do use the profile sanding kit a lot, but there is no dust collection...

The new version also has the new style sanding pad that runs cooler than the older style for better abrasive life and dust collection. You can remove the dust shoot on the new version too when...

Love my Laguna Ceramics -- they make them for other brands of saws and are well worth the money IMHO. Run cool and no moving parts to wear out. Plus they support the blade at 10 places for truer...

I bought a 350 and purchased the riving knife upgrade they sell -- an afternoon of work and now I have the same version machine. Works great and would not want to be without it.

not sure about used tools, but Eagle Tools is close to Pasadena and worth a visit to look at all the cool stuff they carry, including Aggazani Bandsaws.

Another option is to take a chisel or razor blade and cut the thin sliver of wood on the side edge of each Domino -- it takes a few seconds and give you some extra wiggle room. On tight fitting ones...

Congrats on your decision -- I think you made a wise choice on a great saw. Just a suggestion, but I might start a new thread if I were you for the drill press -- this thread is for bandsaw advice...

Thanks for the photos...I had planned to go, but too much going on this week to get away. Next go around...it really is a great show with lots to see.

You can also use the bandsaw and get very square cuts as long as the edges are parallel. First cut the face at 90 degrees and then rotate it and use the kerf from this cut to guide the cut on the...

Thanks for the thoughts, guys...keep 'em coming. I already have a Hammer J/P to eliminate the two separates. My thinking of the two bandsaws was to leave one set up with a wide blade full time for...

Hi everyone,

I am at a cross-roads and could use some advice. I need more space in my shop and my TS just takes up too much space. I have looked at shortening the rails and making its footprint...

Yes -- you can buy replacement ceramic parts if any get damaged. These guides are wonderful - no moving parts means less long-term maintenance and they support the blade at 10 different points of...

Yes, I think that the adjustments needs to be done without locking them down and then when you lock them they should be in the same plane. A very small turn of the bolts on the side is all it takes...

Hi Bob,

You probably need a minor adjustment to the tables to bring them into alignment -- this will eliminate snipe when jointing and it is a pretty easy adjustment to make -- just follow the...

Not much to add -- agree get the hand wheel and extra knives...I usually by 2-3 sets at a time and they last about 1 year or so (but I plane and joint a lot of material over the course of a year). I...

You can definitely get pretty close, it is just more fussy IMHO. It is absolutely doable, though. I would still not want to be without both in my shop, but that is just how I like to work. I think...

I have also been considering this for some time...I have a track saw which takes care of cross-cuts and working with sheet goods when the need arises. I think that having a jointer and planer is a...

Hi Anthony,

I have the Laguna LT18 -- it is an awesome bandsaw -- mine is circa 2001, but I upgraded to the newer 4.5 HP motor a couple of years ago. I do not think that you will need more power...

Hi Martin,

I just replied to your other thread...I actually have the older style Laguna LT18 and I love it. I retrofitted mine to the new motor and the ceramic guides so it works the same as the...

Hi Martin,

I have never needed to yet -- very rarely to I come across wood wider than 12 inches -- on occasion I have seen it, but most wood at my suppliers is less than 12 inches wide. I think...

Your knives will be double-sided and the same cutter-block. The blade guard on the new machine is curved. My machine is going on four years old and works just as well today as when it was new.
