    Default Laguna bandsaws

    Hi folks. Another question to put out there & to see if anyone has tried the following? I did put in a new thread yesterday titled “bandsaw questions” where I mentioned this brand of band saw (Laguna) www.lagunatools.com. I have been researching band saws & this one faired very well in a bandsaw review by American Fine Woodworker http://www.finewoodworking.com/ToolG....aspx?id=29458
    It was voted best overall if I recall. The questions are,
    • Has anyone else actually gone ahead & imported this machine’?
    • How has the machine performed?
    • Are you happy?

    I have had conversation with Laguna & they assure me that they have sold quite a few machines to Australians. I am hoping that a few of those Australians subscribe to this forum.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Pavlos.

    G'day

    I have also spoken to the guys at Laguna and have heard the same thing, but the shipping is expensive....

    And I also thought, if it breaks down whose going to fix it.....

    For the trouble involved why bother? The chances of getting it here in one piece would be failry low I would reckon. The yanks use different electricity to us also.

    I would consider the Hammer 4400, made in Austria, pretty similar price to the better Laguna's and you can buy them direct in Oz

    Thanks for the above comments. Common sense (there is no such thing!) would say that the importation of a machine would be a ridicules thing to do & generally I am of that thought too. However, it does not hurt to entertain this thought process with others & to through this idea out into the ether. Not all importation encounters have to be a bad experience. Also with the Oz dollar the way it is I thought it may be cost effective?

    Thanks
