Laguna 18|CX Band Saw 1.75hp, 1PH, 100V

The Laguna 18|CX Bandsaw follows in the traditions of high-performance and reliability to be expected from a Laguna Tools Bandsaw. The 18|CX is built with a 1.75HP, 110V motor and features variable speed control to cut through metals with ease. 

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!

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.
