Check out Bandsaw Specifications

[Greg Newell]

Dale,
    I've tried an earlier version of this saw and didn't like it. You 
mentioned that you would be doing some resawing. This won't even compare 
to the Laguna 16". First with a fully cast wheels inside the saw is very 
robust and balanced quite well. Second the very need for that cylinder 
in the picture means that you have to constantly account for blade 
wandering like most other Bandsaws. On the Laguna this isn't necessary 
since you simply put your stock against the fence and push the material 
through. I can cut so thin on a 12" wide board that you can see through 
it. Thinner than regular veneer with no thickness changes throughout the 
length of the cut!  If I hadn't seen it done before I bought it I never 
would have. The price scared me away at first until I saw it put through 
it's paces. Third I believe that the motor quality isn't nearly as good. 
Fourth the ceramic blade guides further eliminate any type of blade 
wandering whatsoever so smooth and consistent cuts are insured on every 
try. The ceramic blade guide also allow for a slightly greater capacity 
of something like 13 1/4". I liked the Jet until I tried the Laguna and 
then, well .... I just had to have it. :-)
