Two years of intensive research and design went into the Laguna 1412, and the result is a band saw of uncompromised quality. Laguna's first offering in the 110V market, the 1412 makes industrial-quality features accessible for woodworkers in home shops and pro shops alike. Laguna's famous pyramid-shaped spine and an oversized trunnion offer incredible rigidity for vibration-free performance. The solid cast iron wheels also dampen vibration, are precisely balanced, and are fitted with polyurethane tires that run cooler and last longer. The generously sized table is micro-polished to a beautiful sheen and includes a precision fence that can be flipped vertically for resawing, or horizontally for standard ripping. The magnetic blade guard is raised and lowered with a worm-drive rack and pinion so your blade guides stay perfectly adjusted regardless of the height. The saw includes Laguna's renowned ceramic blade guide system. A huge, quick release lever relieves tension for fast blade changes, while convenient viewing windows allow you to check both tension and tracking while the machine is running.
Note: Optional light (#52667, sold separately) and wheel accessories (#51097, sold separately) shown are not included with the saw.
Features:
- Magnetic blade guard is easy to remove
- Includes heavy-duty stand
- 4" dust port captures dust at the source
- Tension window makes it easy to adjust your blade tension
- Tracking window lets you track the blade while the saw is on
- Cast iron wheels are electronically dynamically balanced
- Worm gear and pinion is ultra-smooth and engineered to have minimum flex even when fully extended
- Heavy-duty oversized cast trunnion for stability
- Includes premium anodized aluminum throat plate
- Hi/low aluminum fence flips up for resawing
- Oversized power button features safety key to prevent unwanted start ups

I love the 14-12 Laguna
I love it, my first major power tool purchase in 18 years. It is easy to set up for a cut, guides are easy to adjust, blade goes on and is easy to line up. No vibration issues and good power for cutting matching panels from stock. My old delta was very difficult to adjust and liked to wobble, vibrate and walk across the floor.

So far so good
Certainly was tough unboxing + assembling the wheel kit by myself, but everything has been working great. Have about 4 hours total use time from the first month with no issues.

Wonderful saw
I've been using this for a couple of weeks and so far it lives up to my expectations. The manual is lacking but setup was easy thanks to Laguna's youtube videos. Dust collection works nicely, fit and finish is great. Hardly any adjustments needed, this saw cuts beautifully out of the box. Scroll cuts and resawing (especially resawing!) are light years beyond my old 1980s craigslist saw.
Many thoughtful design features on this saw but it's not perfect - the fence knob can block the bottom door in certain positions, and the bottom blade guard can be hard to adjust even if you move the diagonal knob to the opposite side as is suggested in the video. But these aren't major enough to knock a star off. I'd recommend this bandsaw without reservation.

Impressed
I’m very impressed with this machine. Cuts like a hot knife through butter. The YouTube videos laguna put out where very helpful in the setup. It can be set up by one person but would be much easier if you had 2. Biggest thing I would caution remembering is you will need to buy the additional things. Blades, light, mobile base. Which can add up quick but worth it.

An all time best tool purchase
I have owned a few smaller band saws over the past 20 years. Most of them were not worth the trouble. They all involved constant 'tuning' to get a decent cut.
Once I set eyes on this saw in a Rocker store, I knew I Would eventually own one. I was fascinated with the ease of use, and sturdy construction.
The guides are very easy to adjust quickly when needed. The cast iron top is solid. The fence is spot on in accuracy and easy to use.I love how much power the saw offers. Easy for rip and resaw purposes. Great for almost anything. I have taught my children and my wife how to safely use this saw when they have projects. I can't think of a more useful tool in my arsenal. 5 stars here. All the way. The mobile base is a plus. I 3d printed a mount to install my own light too.

14/12 is a 10/10
This is my first foray into bandsaws and after 1 week I'm really pleased with my investment. I'm 5'11" and appreciate the lower table. The blade is easy to install and set up. The guides are pretty simple and don't require any tools. The resaw capability is especially impressive with little blade drift. Laguna missed the boat on a few things: As others have written, the instructions could use more details, but it is manageable. Also, the Laguna stand isn't worth the money IMHO. It is a top heavy machine and having the weight distributed to only three points when being moved doesn't make much sense. In hindsight, I would go with a Rockler four wheel system. Also, the base is screaming for a door to allow for storage. This is so apparent and can't understand how Laguna missed it. Also, the fence wasn't completely square with the table, but a shim from a soda can worked perfect. Sounds like a lot of negatives, but overall, this machine is solid and I'm very happy with this purchase; I wouldn't hesitate recommending it.

Great machine.
This saw arrived in perfect condition. Contrary to the directions, however, I was able to unpack and set up all by myself. And I am 160 lbs, 76 years old.
Required minimal adjustments and alignment. Very impressive. Mounted the 3/4" resaw king blade and using the fence I cut a 1/32" slice from the face of a 4" piece of cedar, perfectly parallel.

We have done some extensive searching for a moderate priced bandsaw and after looking at all the reviews and capabilities for not only the day to day work of a bandsaw but specifically the responses about resawing exotic woods, we just felt that this was the best one for our money.

Finally graduating to purchasing higher end wood species. I'm at the point where I don't want to waste that expensive wood dimensioning. Also graduating to other projects that my jigsaw just doesn't cut it....ha!

I'm having trouble lining up the guide fence so I can resaw some wood into consistent thickness. When I tighten the knob down that holds the fence in place it tends to drift at an angle. I start cutting and the thickness is not consistent all the way through. How do I fix this problem?
BEST ANSWER: You can fully adjust the fence angle with 3 allen head fasters in the rear off the fence, adjust the fence parallel too edge of the table top and you problem is solved... Check that your table top is level to the blade and fence too... You can fine tune this band saw like a Swiss watch... Mine cuts perfect, best $1000 I ever spent... My Laguna 14 twelve will pay for itself in one week...

How many amps does this draw in 220v mode?
BEST ANSWER: The motor tag states it draws 7-Amps in 220v mode. I just switched mine over and it works really well. One caveat, the 110-volt accessory outlet is rendered useless in the manual described rewiring for 220v. If you are adept at electrical, getting it back in action is a simple task.

Hi, Can i use this saw to cut 6 inch circular pvc pipe on the length? will it affect the saw in any way?
BEST ANSWER: I see no reason why not. It rips right through hard woods, so pvc would be easy. You might, however, want to use a blade with 10 teeth per inch, and absent an aggressive cut profile. If I needed to make such a cut, I wouldn't hesitate. This is one awesome saw!

what are the main differences between the laguna 14-12 and the 14BX for a home workshop?
Laguna 14|Twelve 14'' Band Saw
BEST ANSWER: I have the Laguna 14BX 110-175. I looked at both but with the differences I like the Laguna 14BX. The main differences from the 14/12 are: weight increased, Solid one-piece frame, Frame is heavier gauge, Magnetic on/off switch, Disc-brake with Micro switch, and dual light mounting positions. I am using it to resaw boards up to 10 inches in width. I like the 14BX. Hope this answers your question.

i would like to purchase, assemble and use the saw without purchasing the mobile base, but i would be open to adding the mobile base later. would it be possible/practical to add the base to an existing, assembled 14/12? or would i basically have to deconstruct the saw to add the mobile base? thanks.
BEST ANSWER: I just added the mobile unit to the base and it was no different that when you initially buy the saw with the exception of taking off the feet by the wheels. I just laid the saw on its frame supported by 2 4x4s at each end of the frame and installed the wheels. The only thing I had help with was standing the saw back up with the wheels on, I didn't want the saw to roll away as I was lifting it. The manual does remind you to also support the motor when you lay it down to keep the saw from rolling towards the motor.

Table height is too low as I am tall. Is there an adapter kit or some idea you may have to raise the table height?
BEST ANSWER: Laguna does not offer any accessory to raise the height, however it would be simple to raise up by mounting a platform under the base

Can this saw actually handle the tension of a 3/4" blade, or do you recommend a 1/2"?
BEST ANSWER: Absolutely. While this is the only quality band saw I have used, and thus can't compare it with other models, the 3/4 tensions nicely and I have experienced no problems. But others may have far more experience with different woods and need for stiffer tension. My only regret is not waiting to buy it. The new brake is nice!

As a first time band saw buyer, what brand and type of blades would you recommend?
BEST ANSWER: I bought the Laguna ProForce 1/2" 3 teeth per inch and 1/4" 6 teeth per inch. I've not yet used the 1/4", but will when I need to make tight turns. The half inch has been great. I've used it for nearly all of my wood turning projects, including cutting firewood sized pieces for bowl blanks and resawing for veneers.
And by the way, the Laguna 14\Twelve has exceeded all of my expectations.

CAN THIS SAW BE MODIFIED TO CUT MILD STEEL TUBING, ETC.?
BEST ANSWER: Since I worked with a lot of steel when I was in the labor force I can see problems with trying to convert a vertical saw to cut the steel. Mostly it will result in filings falling straight down into the bottom drive roller and associated parts. I'm sure it could cut the steel but I feel it would result in premature failure to some of the saw. Cutting steel is normally done with a horizontal saw so the filings can fall straight down away from the saw.

How heavy is the heaviest single piece of this saw? I am trying to figure out if we are capable of getting from the curbside to the back of our yard by ourselves by taking it out of the box piece by piece.
BEST ANSWER: It's pretty heavy. If you're trying to get it to your garage or shop I'd recommending rolling the entire box on top of rollers of some sort. Once you get to your shop, open your box, and you will still have to have a helping hand in setting up the band saw to its upright position. This latter part was the hardest for me and my wife.

moving to France,can i convert from 110 to 220 volts ?
BEST ANSWER: I believe you can. It will entail some rewiring. In the manual it has some diagrams that mention 110 / 220 volts.
You might have to do some digging to get more instructions, or maybe contact Laguna.
I did hear for a utube vid that the extra 110 outlet on the machine will become inoperable unless you did some extra work to convert that also.
Hope this helps, and Enjoy France.

The resaw capacity on this saw is 12", but with the 1.75HP motor, will it slow down at all with a full depth cut, or can it still power through it? I'm assuming that hardwoods would obviously slow it down more than softwoods.
BEST ANSWER: I've used mine to resaw through 10" hardwood, with no problem at all. As with all bandsaws, having the correct blade set to the correct tension is critical, but the saw has adequate power for the job.
