The brand-new 14|CX adds electronic variable speed to the popular 14|BX. This makes it the ideal saw for craftsmen who work in both wood and metal. Patented disc brake stops the momentum almost instantaneously. Strong, smooth running BLDC motor makes the 14|CX stand out.
Ferrous metals (steel, iron, stainless, etc.) require substantially lower blade speeds compared to wood, plastics, and most other materials. Wood, foam, plastics, and other materials cut better with higher blade speeds.
The cast-iron wheels are balanced and provide plenty of inertia to drive the blade through the material being cut. The flywheels are supported by oversized shafts with sealed bearings.
The Laguna ceramic guides have a total of 10 contact points above and below the work piece for precise cuts. The ceramic inserts handle heat better than traditional metal bearings and are easily replaceable.
The foot brake system uses a larger brake disc to provide more stopping power to handle the higher speeds and additional inertia of the heavier pulleys.
The dual dust collection ports provide collection just under the table surface and lower guides as well as collection at the bottom of the cabinet to help keep the machine clean and ready for next use.
The table tilts both toward the inside and the outside of the saw to make accurate beveled cuts in a wide range of materials. This helps fit materials when welding metal or making woodworking joints.
The saw is fitted with clear windows to easily set blade tracking and blade tension.
The magnetic tensioning indicator is easy to adjust to help accurately set blade tension for all types of blades.
Blade tension is set by using the convenient handwheel. The blade tension quick-release handle de-tensions the blade when the saw is not in use.
The Hi/Low fence is easily changed from the High Position (used for resawing and most thicker materials) and the Low Position (used for thinner stock or when making thin cuts). The ability to change from High to Low position provides better hand positioning when feeding stock through the saw for certain types of cuts.
The worm-drive rack and pinion upper guidepost is easily positioned and locked in place to fit the size of the materials being cut.
The saw is equipped to accept the optional work lights with a rear power outlet and two pre-drilled mounting locations.
Laguna Tools believes that the best power tools in the world perform at their peak when outfitted with exceptional quality blades and accessories.
- DRO - The digital readout provides a quick and easy reference for blade speeds. The DRO displays in "SFPM" (surface feet per minute). This is the speed that the teeth of the blade are moving. This number can be set by using a blade speed chart for the specific blade and material being used to achieve high quality cuts in a wide range of materials.
- 2 Speed Pulley - The 2-step pulley provides a mechanical High and Low range to keep the bandsaw in the correct torque range for the blade speed and materials being cut. The belt position should be set first and then the final speed should be set by turning the speed control knob. The pulleys use a poly-groove drive belt to prevent slipping even when cutting the toughest materials.
- Speed Control Knob - The speed control knob can be used to change the speed on the fly if needed, meaning that you can increase or decrease speed during the cut to optimize the performance of the blade in the specific material being cut. It is conveniently located on the control panel adjacent to the DRO display.
- PWM - Electronic speed control is provided by the PWM system (pulse width modulation) which uses an inverter to control the output to the powerful DC motor. This system has the added benefit of quickly stopping the motor and wheels when shut off.
