Hi all,

So I snapped a Resaw King blade on my Laguna 14-12 while resawing an 8" board of blackwood. This reason this happened was "user error", who didn't look properly and see the top of the board enter the cut ahead of the bottom. The resulting unsupported cut lead to immediate blade failure! Well I learned my lesson there.

Ringing around there were some bandsaw suppliers who do not weld blades back together and don't know anyone who does (or just told me that). Anyway, I just wanted to put in a good word and say that Carbide Tools in Wangara (no affiliation with me) were able to quickly repair this blade and I was able to continue resawing successfully. Only cost twelve bucks!

I got the Resaw King (and the Laguna) from Gregory Machinery in QLD several years ago. I noticed that they don't have a Laguna 14-12 size Resaw King on their website now and wondered whether they don't make them anymore.
