    Laguna 18BX Problems - Advice welcomed

    Hi @Westy619, please get in touch with me directly by mailing [email protected] - I will give you my contact details & we will resolve any issues you have. There is a work around for easily adjusting the trunnions by using the grub screws on the platter if needed without sanding, it's in the...

    Which bench top thicknesser?

    Sploo - we can't think of any either & were surprised with that - but it is what it is. CE regs for Annex iv machines are what they are I guess.

    Which bench top thicknesser?

    Hi Sploo, factory reply earlier this year below. Cheers, Nick Hi All, Unfortunately a bad news. Please below. Dear xxx, One of PX12’s features is Quadtec1 cutter head which is square, we consulted with TUV, unfortunately CE only accepts round cutter head( like traditional straight blade head...

    Which bench top thicknesser?

    Yes we should have the vertical head lock like USA - final CE / UKCA sample due early next year for us to check before ordering.

    Which bench top thicknesser?

    Hi Peri, we are working on it - hopefully 2022 (likely Autumn) & spiral block instead of USA quad block as that didn't get CE. Cheers, Nick

    Dementia and me.

    Hi Robin, that rings true. My Spanish father in law passed away in April with dementia being the official cause, but he went downhill very fast despite always being such a fit and strong 76 year old. The carers said they had never seen such a steep decline, and he ended up hospitalised for the...

    Sparks - how much is normal

    Hi Kev, As has already been said, It's normal to get quite a few sparks from a new blade when under load until the back of the blade 'smooths' out. It then gets a lot less sparky after you've used it a bit. Ceramic thrust guide - I've always just pushed up to lightly touch the blade once the...

    Good reason to leave your table saw guard on

    Hi Pete I often get asked about why Laguna saws in Europe don't have the anti-kickback pawls along with the USA style drop down plastic guard flaps - reason is the USA guard design couldn't pass pass CE inc. the pawls. I don't know the exact specifics why we couldn't use USA style but I do know...

    First bandsaw

    Hi Bojam, they are built in Taiwan. USA bring some Italian ACM saws in under the Laguna name, but we stick with exclusive Laguna designed units here in Europe. Cheers, Nick

    Anybody know how to contact Dewalt UK..

    My New Table Saw - a KING KC-10RC

    I like old machines & it looks solid for what it is (obviously an import) - the 60Hz on the rating plate (yup alongside the Canada badge) gives that away. But just be aware 60Hz motor will run 20% slower - that also means fan is 20% less effective at cooling. We are 50Hz in UK. Not saying that...

    Where have all the bandsaws gone?

    Not on Evergreen, but our Cyclone container 40ft due on Tuesday didn't even dock on Sunday - we heard on Monday that new delivery date is 17 August..... Boat had changed course last minute and gone else where first.... ha it's still madness at moment.

    More price increases

    Glad all is good Noel - we all fully agree with your view of a big element of 'profiteering' from the shipping companies who are almost a cartel. Yeah, to be honest they are not making it easy with UKNI certification, I will chat with directors tomorrow to double check, but they are normally...

    More price increases

    Hi Noel, I hope you and yours are well over there fella. One of my customers in Norn Iron will now only guarantee quotes on materials for 7 days.... I wouldn't like to be a builder costing/quoting up a job that's for sure. Shipping prices are still crazy - $18,000 for a 40ft last week - 20ft no...
