Hello,
I have the opportunity to go take a look at a Laguna LT24x24 band saw. It is used and about 9 years old but in a hobby setting. It comes with the Driftmaster fence, 5 blades (not sure which ones), is made in Italy, and has a 5hp motor. He is asking $2,300 for it. My questions:
1) What should I look for when I go take a look at it? Is there any known issues I should be aware of when looking at this one?
2) How are the guides on this saw? I've read both positive and negative thus far.
3) Is there anything else I need to know? Any other general info about saws of this size to be aware of?
4) What's the best way to load/transport this sucker? Seems it weighs 755lbs.
I'm stepping up from a Grizzly G0555 14" band saw so this is a huge jump for me. It's a different class of saw so I want to make sure I do things right this time around as I'm hoping this will be the last band saw I purchase.
Appreciate any help given.
