Laguna 18|BX Band Saw 3hp, 1PH, 220V

Laguna Tools Inc. has introduced the 18|BX. This saw follows in the traditions of high-performance and reliability established by the widely-used Laguna Tools 14|12 and 14|bx models.

The upper and lower wheels are 65% wider and 78% heavier than the 14|BX and the 14|12 Band Saws. Additionally, the reinforced steel frame is 85% heavier than the 14|BX. The 18|BX is built around a 3HP, 220V motor and 145" (368 cm) blade for consistent results, cut-after-cut, regardless of material.

Most blade guide systems are designed to support the blade on the sides, and then either above or below the side guides to support the back of the blade. This forces the blade to twist as pressure from the wood being cut is transferred to the back blade guide. Laguna Guides solve this problem by supporting the blade on the sides above and below the back blade guide. By eliminating all blade twist, the Laguna Guide gives the blade unsurpassed stability. 

The Laguna Guide System utilizes 10 points of contact, 4 more than traditional guide systems. It features "Space Age" ceramic guide blocks as both side and thrust support. This enables the ceramic piece to gently touch the side of the blade, on all three sides without heat build-up, therefore giving stability, which has never been achieved before. 

Add the optional 18|BX & 18|CX Wheel System to make your band saw mobile.
