Congrats on your purchase! You will love it! I had purchased the resaw king 3/4" carbide tipped with the saw but it broke a couple weeks after I used it in this video and I never replaced it! It was a $150 blade!! I use the Starrett Duratec SFB Bandsaw Blade - 115" x 3/4" x .032" - 4 TPI - Hook now for resawing and it works well.
I am in the exact same decision making arena that you were: Rikon vs Languna 1412. The 1412 is at the top of my list at the moment - thank you for this information!
What amp breaker are you using with this bandsaw? I have a 20 amp in my garage and am a little worried it may not be able to handle the 1.75hp motor. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for your review. I purchased the same machine not quite a year ago. It is a great machine! What are your thoughts on the ceramic blade guides, any wear?
I am not the best at reviewing tools but, I will always be honest. The ceramic guides are ok. I thought the saw had a lot more blade noise than it should and attributed it to those guides. The sparks took some getting used to but they still work fine. Its not a daily user.
Thanks for your review. I went from a 35 year old Delta and just bought the Laguna 14/12 band saw 2 weeks ago and so far, it's been great. Enjoyed your review of this and agree that bottom storage would be nice though. I also noticed your dust collection on your miter saw and was wondering how you like it, and does it work well? I have a 12" sliding compound one and want to make something like yours that I think might work hooked into my wall mounted dust collector for the band saw.
Hey Gary! Glad you liked the review! Love my #Laguna tools for sure! I no longer have the miter saw "Hood" because I upgraded to a Sliding Miter saw. When I did have it, it was not very good.
@@BuckysCustoms Thanks for your answer on the miter saw hood. I guess the best way to use my saw and to keep the dust down is to use it outside. lol Have a great day.
Thanks for the review Bucky, I’m looking into a saw and appreciated your inputs.
I'm a wood turner and been looking at this for a while thanks for showing the log cutting I just made my purchase
I absolutely love mine! Congrats!
Great Vid, what blade do you use?, here in Australia we have to buy the blade seperately , want to do some resawing and bandsaw boxes

Exact same thing happened to me with the Resaw king. Got the wood slicer now and no issues.

I’ve been a subscriber since your first video! I NEVER miss one and just like all the others this video is PACKED! with info great job sir!!
Thank you sir!
I would like for you to produce a video demonstrating a blade change on your band saw, a task I find difficult.
What type of deal did they give you on the saw I'm trying to get one priced out.
No Deal. Paid full price.
Nice video, all the Laguna band saws look nice!
Thanks Matt! I really think they hit the mark dead on with Quality and price!
What amp breaker are you using with this bandsaw? I have a 20 amp in my garage and am a little worried it may not be able to handle the 1.75hp motor. Thanks for the video!
I run mine on a dedicated 20 amp breaker.
Thanks for your response! @@BuckysCustoms

@@garydietzel6730 You as well!
Appreciate the info.
why did you chose the 1412 over the 14bx? was it price only?
Price was the first consideration for sure. Plenty of favorable reviews, I needed a band saw in a hurry and the 1412 was in stock.
Laguna is American made. Laguna > Rikon
Taiwan is in America? Weird.
