    Which wheeled base for new Bandsaw - Laguna 14BX

    Hi @RobTy, Just for info, I'd have loved it as a feature too & we looked into it in detail before launching, but the CE costs due to the massive extra testing hoops to jump through to add an external power source to a machine unfortunately made it completely unviable as an option. Cheers, Nick

    Which wheeled base for new Bandsaw - Laguna 14BX

    I'd just like to correct the comment above, and point out we keep a large amount of Laguna spares in stock in the UK. We pride ourselves on customer service and aftersales and always do our best to find a resolution. *I've edited my post to delete my comments on an individual's case. Thanks to...

    Harrogate woodworking show

    I'll be there with Snainton Woodworking on their stand showing some lovely Laguna machines with decent pricing offers on them, any members on here who are going, feel free to drop by and say 'Hi' @Dave65 - Sunday tends to be less crowded in my experience as an exhibitor, far better if you want...

    How do I purchase wood from a Sawmill

    Hi Brdy - Drop in and talk to them about what you are after- my overall experience of dealing with various sawmills as a supplier is they are pretty much always very good, down to earth & knowledgeable people who would be happy to discuss & don't be intimidated by the fact they are a sawmill and...

    Is there a retailer carrying Jet JWP-12L (2022 model) thicknesser in the UK

    Hi BucksDad, next year earliest as a lot of R&D / CE spec. was put on back burner in last 2 years by the factories to focus on just getting existing items. But there is a PX12 thicknesser being used v. hard somewhere in the UK on a full hard core commercial test - all looking good so far with...

    Is there a retailer carrying Jet JWP-12L (2022 model) thicknesser in the UK

    Hi all, I'll put money on the fact it's a brush motor. You can even see the brush caps in the images & I'm pretty sure I also know the factory that make this model. The only thicknesser I remember that Jet did with an induction motor was the JPM13CS, that was more stationary though - nice...

    Axminster Ral Number

    It's always funny to see a bumped old discussion - and just incase anyone asks 10 years in the future Laguna grey is 'Dark Grey Pearl' : RAL 9023 Hope this helps all woodworkers in 2032 with any older or 2nd hand Laguna machines needing a touch up - Don't ask me again haha ;) Cheers, Nick

    JCB Router

    Sorry I don't know it but maybe worth a punt at less than the price of a few pints, it's your call - & just commenting as anecdotally I remember the lawsuit between DeWalt and JCB over the yellow/black colour on powertools maybe 25 years back ... JCB won Fun and games that was ;)

    Bandsaw Motor - cautionary tale !

    Hi Spectric - only ever USA only - we never had them in the UK - I'm not sure why

    Bandsaw Motor - cautionary tale !

    Hi - yes OK that's way higher than I'd have thought - plus if it came direct from the states' stock it likely wouldn't be right anyway as that would be a 60Hz motor.. they should have known that. Your bandsaw is a UK CE one by the way, although it is based on a USA design. It has never been in...

    Bandsaw Motor - cautionary tale !

    Ah, OK it was worth a go. Tool France are the new Jet distributors, I'm not sure if they can help or not? Or at what price they would charge?

    Bandsaw Motor - cautionary tale !

    Have you tried contacting Axminster to see if by any chance they have a spare motor still left over gathering dust in their warehouse? They were the importers of your model back in the mid 2000's Motor code was : JWBS16-218E - Motor 1-1/2HP, 1Ph, 230V

    Accessories for Elektra Beckum KGS 331.

    Nice blast from the past - cheers - I'd forgotten about all the accessories though ;) It was a great (and quiet) saw at the time I sold loads..

    Accessories for Elektra Beckum KGS 331.

    Hi Geoff, Metabo are now the suppliers as you seem to know (They bought out Elektra over 20 years ago) Either speak to them, to confirm if there was anything - But apart from the stand, I'm not sure what other accessories were available in fairness. Universal left and right extensions stands for...

    Using a drumsander

    Hi Martin, What grit paper are you using? - Fine grits can 'clog up' very quickly - our best selling grit is 120G if that helps. From quite a few people I've spoken to, they use 80G or 120G but then often give a very quick 220G / 300G+ finish via hand / random orbit sander after the material...

    New Table Saw

    I will check that with USA tomorrow to let you know if there is any sort of co-operation, but I would be very surprised if so... I've never heard of it. Laguna tablesaws/bandsaws/sanders/cyclones are nothing to do with Harvey - same in USA. We are competitors really. Harvey - China Laguna -...
