14|CX Bandsaw

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 workpiece 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. Dual dust collection ports capture debris just under the table surface, lower guides, and at the bottom of the cabinet, keeping the machine clean and ready for use.

The table tilts both toward the inside and outside of the saw, allowing for accurate beveled cuts in various materials, helpful for welding metal or making woodworking joints. The saw features clear windows for easy blade tracking and tension adjustment, along with a magnetic tensioning indicator for precise calibration. The handwheel allows convenient tension control, with a quick-release handle to de-tension the blade when idle. The Hi/Low fence can switch positions to suit material thickness, improving hand positioning during cuts. A worm-drive rack and pinion guidepost adjusts easily for material size. Additionally, the saw supports optional work lights with a rear power outlet and pre-drilled mounts. Laguna Tools emphasizes that premium power tools perform best with high-quality blades and accessories.

Comes standard with a Laguna Bi-Metal ½” x 10/14 Variable TPI Blade

Features:

• 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.
