I've owned both and love both. Tersa is a fantastic cutterhead, I had one in a Mini Max and then a Felder. Also had an Oliver 20" with spiral cutterhead, it took too much space in the shop so I...

Oh that’s hilarious 😂
I didn’t notice that until you pointed it out.
Hammer C3-31 combo machine, which has a 12" jointer/planer.
I did have a DeWalt 735 years ago and loved it too.
I suggest watching a few video reviews of the Laguna and also the Rikon, to help inform you. Also read reviews on places such as Amazon and Woodcraft. This helped me a lot in my search for a...
Another happy customer of Slivers Mill. Very knowledgeable staff explain differences between the options and I bought a couple of Woodworker IIs. I’ve owned a Woodworker II in the past and compared...
I suggest you lay out your shop space on paper with the proposed new jointer, it can be enlightening. When I did this, I found how little space I actually had, once I had all of my tools. This led...
I did too. I picked up a Forrest 10" 48T that I can use with my scoring blade, plus a 12" 30T for a bunch of thick rips that I will be doing on my next project. You will be very happy with the...
I’ve owned a Mini Max and a Felder, and am on more of a budget now so just picked up a Hammer. Mini Max and Felder were top notch, you’d be very happy with either in that price range. Think about...
Very nice Jim! Also on my to do list for my Hammer C3, which is patiently waiting for me to uncrate it. Just picked it up yesterday :)
Thanks Jim :)
I pick it up on the 22nd, along with my Hammer combo machine. Both are in Sacramento area, instant shop in one day lol
I am the proud new owner of a Laguna LT16HD. It is a fairly new one, although I don't know the age (I think within 10 years). 16" resaw, ceramic guides, made in Italy by ACM, 4.5 HP, complete with...
Unfortunately the seller vaporized. He initially reached out to me with a PM, but hasn't responded since. Perhaps he sold it. So I'm still in the hunt for a bandsaw!
That router spindle is now $912 :eek:
Thank you gentlemen. I had an MM16 years ago, also an Italian beauty. I do miss it, it did everything right.
Great info, sounds like both Rikon and Laguna are excellent saws. I had been trying to buy a used Laguna 16HD, but the seller has gone AWOL, lol. So I'm staying on the Laguna or Rikon hunt, hoping...
Congrats! I had a K700S around that age. Amazing machine, the level of quality and performance was amazing.
Thanks guys for the info, good stuff. Sounds like this machine is worth a hard look. I contacted the seller but have yet to hear back from him.
Actually I think the research is time well spent. There were a couple of video reviews of bandsaws with issues that can't be tuned out. Tables so far out of flatness that you can't push the work...
Also in the market, I can't tell you how many hours I've read and watched reviews on those two models. My conclusion is those are the two best saws in that price range.
On Amazon, the Laguna...
Thanks for the feedback guys. I don't know much about the saw yet, I am waiting to hear back from the seller on age, price, type of guides, Etc.
It seems that if you get a good Laguna, they are...
Hi all,
I have an opportunity to purchase a used Laguna 16HD. I don't yet know how old it is or any other details, other than it has 16" resaw capability.
There have been a fair number of...
Yes I think it is
If it's what I think it is, that's normal. That's a safety feature- dynamic braking of the motor to slow it down quickly. My Felder and my Minimax both did it. It stays on longer so that if you...
I'm in a similar situation, looking for a bandsaw. I used to have an MM16, it was flawless and did everything well. I got out of woodworking, now time to get back in but the MM16 is out of my...
That's terrific, congrats!
