Terry, I thought that you purchased the 16" bandsaw not the 14". Typo?

I have a 20" Grizzley planer and have had very good luck with it. That being said, my bandsaw is a Laguna LT14HD. http://www.lagunatools.com/bandsaws/bandsaw-lt16hdclassic;jsessionid=WG2cMv9 QnPhz8kfVf1qZd4vQ8tL1ytNK2qfBYJF6XlTzVzRSy6cc3QwGlLmkRs1JGnC1qYJJzQq5Vy0WdKm MbtrRvGmly1Crj1djn2KQhThz0jKyyGZF2Sft1g2hW4tQ!-1159543221 A couple other folks on the Pianotech list also have the same model. I (and the other too!) have been extremely happy with the saw. I do a lot of resawing - spruce and maple. It resaws a Delignit pinblock like butter! I also have an excellent dust collection system if you are interested. Shop setup is fun. If you wish to see any of my setup, I'm happy to share my thoughts. Take a peek at some of what I do in my shop if you wish: www.farrellpiano.com Terry Farrell Farrell Piano, Inc.
