Laguna LT18HD Bandsaw 5hp, 220V

The Laguna Tools LT 18 bandsaw is the perfect step-up from the legendary LT16 HD. The larger table and increased resaw height and throat capacity open additional opportunities to show off your woodworking skills. This European saw features a 5 HP Leeson motor to provide plenty of power to match the 18.5 resaw height. The standard high/low resaw fence, geared trunions, and EZ tension indicator make operation a breeze. Our award-winning Laguna Guide system features thumb screws for quick adjustment and precision control. 

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.

Note: Blade is not included. Check out our selection of band saw blades here.
