The Laguna 14|12 Bandsaw is a 110 Volt saw that feels like a 220. Features include a pyramid-shaped spine, 1-3/4 HP TEFC Motor, quick release tension, 115-volt outlet, and micro-polished 21 X 16″ table mounted onto oversized Trunion paired with Aluminum Hi/Low Fence.
Solid Cast Wheels are electronically, dynamically balanced & fitted with polyurethane one-piece tires designed to run cooler & last longer than conventional tires. Double windows allow you to check both tension & tracking while the machine is running. The worm gear & pinion is ultra-smooth and engineered to have minimum flex even when fully extended. This is a trademark of Laguna, just like the famous ceramic Laguna guides.
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 14|12 Wheel System and make your band saw mobile!
Optional Blades:
- Resaw King: Carbide-tipped resaw blades. The carbide tips outlast standard blades many times over and can be re-sharpened. The profile of the carbide tipped teeth is optimized to provide a thin kerf and smooth finish cuts in woods. A 3/4" blade width is recommended for resawing on the 14|CX Band Saw.
- Pro-Force Blades: Swedish silicon steel blades with heat-treated teeth and rear surface (on wider blades). The Pro-Force Blades out perform standard carbon steel blades. These blades are available in a wide range of widths and TPI. The narrowest blades are used for tight curved work. The medium widths are perfect for gentle curves, light weight straight cuts, and general purpose work. Higher tooth counts provide smoother cuts and are required for thinner stock. Lower tooth counts provide faster cutting, rougher surface, and are better for thicker stock.
All Laguna Tools woodworking machinery carry a 2-year warranty. Must register machine within 30 days of purchase.
Note: Some images are shown with optional Wheel Kit & Light System. Blade NOT included. Check out our selection of band saw blades here.

Pricing was comparable to other bandsaws of its size, and shipping cost from Oak Tree was very reasonable, helped me make the decision. Bandsaw assembly went without a hitch (put it together myself but definitely recommend assistance). After assembly and tune up I resawed a 7" piece of walnut. I really like the bandsaw so far but haven't used it enough to really give a complete review but so far so good!
After hours of researching all the bandsaws/features I was looking for, I settled on the 14/12.. since I’ve purchased from Oak Tree before and had great service they were my go-to source. Great price/shipping. Transport was a little slow but not Oak Trees fault. It arrived without damage. Watched the YouTube videos of assembly from Laguna. Took about 35 min to get it put together and tuned up. Very smooth, accurate cuts. Re-sawed 4” wide 8/4 mahogany to 1/8” perfectly square! Love this saw and the service from Oak Tree Supply!
Excellant and friendly service. So far I love the saw,still having fun learning how to use everything. Assembled by myself with no problems.
A huge upgrade from my older cast iron saw. Easy to assemble (they recommend 2 people, but I was able to do it by myself), everything runs super smooth, and the ceramic guides are SO much easier than dealing with bearings. Very little adjustment was needed out of the box; I just leveled the throat plate, adjusted the fence for a tiny but of drift, and started cutting! I haven't tested the capacity, but it was cutting veneers off 6" thick tropical hardwood like it wasn't even there.
Working with Oak Tree was great! The website said they had it in stock, but I emailed just to check and got a quick reply. After ordering, they emailed me to let me know it does not ship with a bladed ask if I wanted to add one to the order. It shipped quickly and arrived earlier than expected.
Great saw I wish I would have bought one sooner…. Hugh upgrade
