The Laguna 14|CX Bandsaw builds on the success of the popular 14|BX by adding electronic variable speed control, making it an excellent choice for craftsmen who work with both wood and metal. With its powerful BLDC motor and advanced disc brake system, this bandsaw offers smooth operation and precision cutting.
Versatile cutting performance with the Laguna 14|CX Bandsaw
Equipped with a Laguna Bi-Metal ½ inch x 10/14 Variable TPI Blade, the 14|CX is designed to handle a wide range of cutting tasks, from ferrous metals to softer materials like wood and plastics. The machine's versatility makes it ideal for both heavy-duty and intricate work.
The digital readout (DRO) on the control panel makes blade speed adjustments simple and precise. By displaying the speed in surface feet per minute (SFPM), you can easily match the blade speed to the material being cut for high-quality results. The bandsaw’s 2-speed pulley system provides both a high and low range, ensuring optimal torque for cutting various materials. With a poly-groove drive belt, you won't experience slipping, even with tougher materials.
Laguna 14|CX Bandsaw: speed control for different materials
One of the key advantages of the 14|CX is its speed control knob, allowing you to adjust speed during a cut to optimize performance for different materials. The knob is conveniently placed next to the DRO display for easy access during operation. The saw’s pulse width modulation (PWM) system provides electronic speed control and quick stops, adding another layer of safety and precision.
For cutting ferrous metals like steel and stainless steel, the 14|CX’s lower blade speed ensures clean and efficient cuts. When working with wood, foam, or plastics, the higher blade speed produces smooth, accurate results. The balanced cast-iron wheels give the saw plenty of inertia to drive the blade through challenging materials, supported by oversized shafts with sealed bearings for long-lasting performance.
Advanced ceramic guides and superior dust collection with the Laguna 14|CX Bandsaw
Laguna's ceramic guides, which have ten contact points above and below the workpiece, ensure precise cuts. Ceramic inserts handle heat better than metal bearings and are easily replaceable, making maintenance a breeze. The saw’s foot brake system, equipped with a large brake disc, provides instant stopping power, especially useful when cutting at high speeds with heavier materials.
The dual dust collection ports located under the table and lower guides keep your workspace clean, making it easier to maintain the machine and achieve consistent results. The tilting table provides flexibility for making beveled cuts, whether you are welding metal or creating precise woodworking joints.
Laguna 14|CX Bandsaw: easy blade adjustments and flexible cutting options
The 14|CX Bandsaw comes with clear windows for setting blade tracking and tension, allowing for easy monitoring during use. The magnetic tensioning indicator simplifies adjustments to match the blade to the material being cut. With a convenient handwheel and a quick-release handle, blade tension can be set or released quickly when the saw is not in use.
The saw’s Hi/Low fence system offers flexibility for cutting different material thicknesses. The high position is perfect for resawing and thicker materials, while the low position is ideal for thinner stock and fine cuts. This adaptability allows for better hand positioning and control when feeding stock through the saw.
The worm-drive rack and pinion upper guidepost makes adjusting the saw to the size of the material effortless, and the 14|CX is equipped with rear power outlets and pre-drilled locations for optional work lights, further enhancing your workspace.
