LAGUNA | LT18 3000

This model offers a robust 15-1/4″ resaw capacity, making it capable of slicing thick blanks, cutting veneers, and handling large timber with ease using the right bandsaw blades.

It supports a wide blade size range—from 1/8″ to 1-1/4″—with a blade length of 145″. This gives you the flexibility to use narrow saw blades for curves and wider bandsaw blades for resawing and ripping.

The machine includes a 20″ × 20″ cast-iron table and a 17-1/4″ throat capacity, offering a generous work surface and clearance for larger materials commonly processed in furniture shops.

The LT18 3000 utilizes Laguna Guides, a rack-and-pinion upper guide, and rack-and-pinion table tilt for precise blade tracking and stable, accurate cuts—key for minimizing vibration and protecting bandsaw parts.
