Forget Laguna - Yes Another WG Gloat!

[woodguy1975]

So,I was poking around the internet researching bandsaws and came across an auction site for Broyhill. They were auctioning off the equipment out of the Lenoir plants. To make a long story short I stumbled into an auction for a Meber 24" bandsaw (Basically a Laguna 24"). Meber is who makes Laguna bandsaws. They just label them Laguna for sales in the US. A few clicks later I had my bid in for the saw. I got back from the beach and immediately checked the auction to find I won it. So, here is the new addition to my shop.

Yes, Monty did know and that is why he was poking around about me looking for a 24" saw. The wire transfer has already been made and I should be able to pick it up from the plant sometime over the next couple weeks.

Here are a few specs.
Motor - 3.5 HP 3 phase (I've got 3 phase so that is fine)
Resaw - 15"
Throat clearance 23.5"
Table Size - 23"x31"
Weight - 750 lbs.
Height - Just under 8 feet.

Let the Suckage Calling Begin!

Did Monty spill the beans????

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

[Monty]

So, with all that money you saved by getting this instead of that Laguna, now you can afford to get that Oneway!!! :jealous:


:lol:

 

[sapwood]

Oh, do you ever SUCK!

Heck, if you had bought the whole plant you wouldn't have to worry about moving the bandsaw :lol:

And don't you think it's about time you quit hoarding all the tools and sell some :mrgreen:

Monty did mention the 24" in another thread. I could hardly believe he was serious.

YOU SUCK


What is the bandsaw count now?

 

[DaveO]

That will never be big enough for you :lol: But it does gain you a big giant
YOU SUCK
Now you need 15" boards to re-saw.

and I just found it on the auction site. You got a smokin'! deal! I have to remember to go there more often.

did you even bid on any of the 36" saws? Or are they too much, even for you???

 

[woodguy1975]

The bandsaw count will be 3 counting the 14" Rikon. I'll cancel the order for the Laguna LT16. If I had room I'd might keep all 4.......... but thankfully I don't have the room. This will conclude most of my equipment buying for a long time. At least that is what I keep telling myself. This purchased increased my capacity greatly and saved me about $1000 over the Laguna as long as there is not major repair work required. The saw looks very well maintained. In fact I know one of the maint guys that worked there. He said the saw was in excellent shape and used rarely.



Three phase power opens too many doors I like going thru. Honestly the only thing I still want is a 20" disk sander. Don't think I'm not looking.

I almost bid on a 31". THe problem is I have a 10HP phase converter so I can only power a 7.5HP motor. Most of the bigger saws are too tall for my shop and have too big of motors for my phase converter. I do have some limits.

 

[NCPete]

I looked further, and found a few 42" saws. huge!

 

[RandyJ]

Wow John what a deal. You could have bought 2 Lagunas for that price. What are you going to do with the money you saved? Will you have this in the shop by the end of the month? I hope so then I can drool all over it at the cabinet class. Great find.

You really, really, really do suck. I have bid on more IRSauctions than I care to think about and ALWAYS get out bid. This time, I didn't even look.

I have heard there is a furniture plant auction going on in Rocky Mount this weekend. If I get the details I will post for some of the members in that area.
