I looked at about six set up videos before I found this one to adjust the fence square to my table. Thanks for taking the time, this was top shelf.
Your instructional video is very detailed, i like that you get straight to the point and don't babble. I installed mine last week on my mini-max 45s. The instructions on how to eliminate drift with this fence is awesome, drift has been one of my achilles heels, well done by you and Laguna.
Installed mine last week, did not notice the perpendicular adjustment screws in the manual - fixed the one minor area that needed help. Thanks
Thank you for the in-depth video. Your explanations and demonstrations are spot-on and were very helpful (easier than reading the manual). Just installed mine on the 18BX and the fence works perfectly (no slop). This DX3 fence is nicer/better than the one that came with the 18BX bandsaw. One 360 degree turn on the handle is 1/4", so easy to get 1/8" veneer pieces off the bandsaw.
Looks pretty awesome!!
dont know if its an issue, helps or isnt necessary but id make the stop flip down so you can have it out of the way and flip it back up if needed
Love mine.
Looks really nice!
Just got mine, and it’s great. Though there’s a lot of slop in the wheel, and a lot of play before it engages the rack. What’s the best way to tighten this up? Thanks for the great in-depth video, & looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
uh oh... not excited to hear that. mine arrives tomorrow. im relying on this being accurate
I think he's talking about the drift wheel not the main "left to right" wheel. Mine has NO slop / play whatsoever. Super tight.
@@NV..V No, I mean the main left-and-right wheel. But I’m glad to hear yours is ok. I have a call in to Laguna, and will report back!
@@jonathanh2096 Ugh Understood my friend. My apologies. I hope they make it right ASAP.
Did they ever help you fix it?
I notice you have holes (dust vent?suction/vacume?) on the bandsaw base. (is this mainly mdf or is that an abs plastic or teflon?)
(multiple holes wher the bandsaw blade goes in for the cut)
On the LT-18 i notice the baseplate is different. I have the Laguna 14BX (220v) bandsaw. . the one with the blue ceramic guards.. can i change it out for the black version on the LT-18?>
Thank you for your question on the bandsaw throat plate inserts. Your 14B|X Bandsaw uses the blue anodized aluminum throat plate insert. This insert has built-in leveling screws and a center screw to secure the insert to the table after leveling. The large, oblong center hole provides clearance to draw the sawdust down through this slot for collection by the dust ports below. This insert fits the 14|12, 14|BX, 14|CX, 18|BX, and 18|CX bandsaws. You can find replacement inserts at www.shop.lagunatools.com/Table-Insert-for-14-12-110-VOLT-BANDSAW.
The square black insert that you saw in the video fits our Industrial Series Bandsaws. This insert is much thicker than the insert for your 14|BX and will not fit your saw. This is made from a durable, industrial-grade plastic and features the holes beside the blade slot. These holes assist in dust management for the Industrial Series saws. You can see this insert at www.shop.lagunatools.com/Throatplate-Italian-16HD-37
In the video he mentions that this will fit larger saws, 24" and beyond. However, the tech support reps can only repeat what the sales material says.....up to 18"
What's the real deal? I have a larger LT24 saw and wondering if this would work on it. It would appear to be fine, but wondering why Laguna says.....no (at least on paper)
Thank you for your question on the new Laguna DX3 DriftMaster fence system. The short answer is yes, it will fit your saw since it has a universal mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is designed to fit a wide range of saws to make it easy to fit saws like yours.
We have a version of this fence coming out soon that has all of the same features, but it has a slightly longer mounting rail and mounting bracket as well as a longer fence extrusion. This version will end up being the best fit for your saw. It is specifically designed for 24" and larger saws. Keep an eye out for it on our website.
The standard fence on the DX3 is 23" long with a 31" front rail. The larger version will have a 27" fence and a 37" front rail.
is this compatible with the Shop Fox W1706 14" bandsaw?
Hi, the DX3 comes with universal mounting brackets that allow it to be mounted on a wide range of bandsaws. One concern would be the fence height. The fence height is 7-1/4" tall in the high position, and the Shop Fox only has 6" of resaw capacity according to online specs. You would need to measure the height from the table to the bottom of the upper wheel covers to see if the 7-1/4" fence would be able to fit and move under the upper housing.
Thank you.
