    Pretty sure that is a Sagittario. IIRC that was one of the early saws imported by Laguna as the LT18.

    It is an Italian 18" saw, with probably ~12" of resaw height and that appears to be the original motor, probably a Tecnomotori and likely a 1.3kW or 1 3/4hp.

    Beyond that, I don't know much about it.

    Edit to add, I know it is a couple of hundred miles away but have you seen the 20" Grizzly on the Northern WV CL?

    Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

    Deep thought for the day:

    Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

    Not a bad saw for scroll work but too weak for much resawing. The ACM that replaced it was a better saw but even it was light for heavy resawing. Dave
