Hi All,
So starting to plan another large cast iron purchase, and thought I
would pole the group for thoughts.

I am thinking of replacing my Grizzly G0555 14" Bandsaw. There are a
couple reasons for this. I have been less than satisfied with the
purchase since uncrating and setting the guy up. It works well, but for
a decent amount of my needs it feels somewhat wimpy. I have a bunch of
8/4 african hardwoods that I attempt to book match in virtually every
project. I have found this saw to be less than ideal for this use. I
realize I am asking alot of the saw, and it might not be fair to judge
it harshly for this failing, but I would like something better. It
doesn't seem like I can get the blade tension tight enough using even
1/2" blades, let alone 3/4" which the saw is rated for. This seems to
cause some great degree of wander in the blade tracking when using the
wider blades, something I haven't noticed when using thinner blades. It
seems to me that even without the riser kit installed there is more
flex in the body of the saw than I would expect. The table is small,
and the included fence is downright hard to lock in place without
feeling like I am torking the table beyond ideal.

Alright, so I would like to recoup some of the expense of the saw, and
invest in a better one. I primarily use the band saw for resawing,
trimming odd little things where I don't want to setup another saw, and
to cut curves with a jig.

I would like a decent size motor, as large as a table as possible, and
a really solid frame.

So far looking to spend maybe an additonal 1000, after selling the
Grizzly that moves me into about 1300 range. Looking online and some in
person the Jet 16" jumps out at me, the Laguna 14LTSE and the 16" are
both appealing, and the Delta 18" seems worth looking at. Are there
other models I am overlooking? Does anyone have experience with these
saws? Also it seems like while the laguna 14LTSE is smaller than the
other models I am looking at it, it has all the same features and might
have higher quality despite the smaller size. I have found that the
blade depth on my Grizzly has never been a problem for me, or at least
not one i couldn't work around by using a different tool.

Thanks in advance, as any help will be well appreciated

You might also try one of the aftermarket springs sold in catalogs
(woodcraft for example) that allows you to crank up the tension for
resawing. Woodcraft also has a number of the high end Delta, Jet, and
Powermatic bandsaws for fairly reasonable (for woodcraft) prices.

What you are trying to do is the same thing as trying to build a house with
a tack hammer. I have the G0555 with the riser kit and I just love it. I
have done all kinds of resawing on it using Oak, Ash, and Walnut with a 1/2"
and 3/4" scilicone steel blade. You should have realized that if you were
going to do industrial work you should have bought an industrial type
bandsaw. Grizzly has several. --- No, I wouldn't even think of trying to
cut any wood that was the consistency of Ironwood or Mesquite on the 555 or
even on a comparable Delta saw.

Laguna LT14SE. I just got one. Sweet.

I've never seen a 14" machine that could really use 3/4" blades. Since I
found a supplier who could put big teeth on a narrow band, I've not used
anything more than 3/8" wide, even for resawing, and I get much better
results.

You can also address the lack of tension problems with a better spring
for higher tension (or at least better stability at the same tension)
and a blade that's happier at lower tensions.

There's a lot you can do yet to make a 14" machine perform.

The Laguna LT14SE can take a 1 inch blade.

You mean it will fit. I doubt very much if it will do anything useful
with it.


(If that's the same 14" Laguna we have round here, it certainly won't)

Howdy,

Perhaps I am missing something here (Hey, it wouldn't be the
first time...) but, my Hitachi 14 1/2" bandsaw happily uses
a 3" blade for resawing.

Thanks for the comments. I am not saying anything is wrong with the
G0555. I am saying it doesn't do what I want it to. I didn't have the
8/4 Mubangu when I purchased the saw, and other than a couple little
things it performed alright initially for my needs. I was attempting to
convey the uses I have for the replacement, didn't mean to insult
anyones love of Grizzly.

I knew when purchasing the G0555 it wouldn't be able to handle a 3/4"
blade, but even the half seems to be pushing its capabilities. The
Laguna LT14SE has a welded steel frame rather than a cast iron frame.
This makes its appearance, and I would assume its performance much more
like the 16" and larger Jet and Delta machines.

Never enough money,
Any other details about the laguna than sweet? Is there anything about
it you don't seem to like? Have you dealt with their customer service?
Any other info would be much appreciated.

Andrew

Andrew, I'm actually exaggerating the truth. I don't actually get my
Laguna till next week. Laguna sent me an e-mail saying it has arrived
from Europe and will be shipped next week.

I have seen it demo'ed at the Denver Woodworking show.

It is sweet because it is so strudy, accepts a 1 inch blade, has a nice
fence, the blade is pretty easy to change, and the dust port is
positioned in a nice place. The fit and finish is a grade above the
other 14" bandsaws, IMO.

The Laguna resaw king blade gets high ratings in everything I've read,
too.

I also bought the cabinet stand and the mobility unit. The mobility
unit has a nice handle that allows you to pull/push is like a childs
wagon.

This is from the Grizzly site for the 0555 14" version:
a.. Blade size: 92 1/2 - 93-1/2" (1/8" to 3/4" wide)

If you install the extension on the saw it takes a 105" blade.

Sorry for the duplicate posting. Don't know what happened.

Thanks again Joe.

What is the sense in replying to posts with absolute non-sense? Do you
get something out of it?

How long between ordering and delivery? I guess I hadn't looking into
it enough yet to realize they are shipped from Europe

A

Just a thought but if the model you have suits most of your needs wouldn't
it be easier to have someone else cut it and perhaps pay them rather than
pumping many hundred dollars more in a tool that does something you only
need once in a while?

I just bought a 40 year old Delta 20" with variable speed gear box
because my old 12" didn't have the jam for resawing. This baby will
allow me to dial in speeds from around 350 fpm to 5000. I would
recommend keeping your eyes open for some of the older used equiment.
The comparable saw to what I bought runs about $7,000 CDN up here, I
paid 1,500 with extra blades and blade welder. I had to spend about 300
on some Carter guides but I've been resawing Jatoba, Wenge, Maple and
various other hardwoods up to about 10" and haven't had a burp. Needless
to say I'm pretty happy.

JC

Having someone else do it is always a good idea, but I rather like
being able to be as self sufficient as possible. I am supporting myself
with this work, so I have the capital to invest in new hardware at
least occasionally.
I have also found that while the G0555 works well enough for most
tasks, and fails only occasionally to get the job done. I feel a more
stable heavy duty unit would be better all around.

Wasn't that the gist of the Michael Fortune article on bandsawing in a
recent FWW? I saw him give a presentation on inlay technique at the recent
wood show, and he seemed pretty lucid, in spite of having recently authored
an article which went against all conventional wisdom on veneer cutting.

Every once in a while, someone comes along with a new thought, and I have
to start thinking all over again. ;-)

If used has an appeal to you, there are always a bunch of experts hanging
out over at owwm.com. One of them, a member of our local club, sold me a
really sweet old longbed 8" made-in-Milwaukee Delta jointer last week.
Completely rebuilt, at about half of what the new X5 is going for.

He has a vintage Delta 20" bs in his shop, awaiting its turn. If only I
had space...

Patriarch

Sometimes used has appeal, though I must admit buying used usually
means a lag in the work time before running. As I am starting going on
making custom furniture that usually isn't ideal. I have also regretted
the last two used equipment purchases, though I learned from both of
them.

I feel somewhat lost as to the comments about 1/2" thick blades. In my
initial post I mention I have been disapointed with the performance
using a 1/2" blade. When purchased I was under the assumption that a
3/4" blade wouldn't work all that well for resawing with a 14" bandsaw,
and to use a 1/2'. Am I missing something here?

Thanks again for the comments that I can understand

I have a Jet 14", and faced some of the same resaw problems...
I went with the Minimax 24" and it came with a 1" carbide tipped blade. (I
kept the Jet for smaller detail work)
So far I have resawn a cherry panel 36" long and 14" wide (3/4" thick) as
well as resawing buttonwood, lacewood and several other species from log to
lumber.
Some of the pieces look to need only minimal sanding right off the saw!

Wouldn't do that, based on several inside looks at Grizz casting and curing.
Seemed a weakness throughout the five pieces we bought from them.

That thin Suffolk 3/4 they market for resawing on a 14" has done a great job

If you buy direct from Suffolk, they cost less than most.

Well, yes, than no on both counts. Silicon steel blades by Gschwind
group -Suffolk/Timberwolf - are about half again the price of name brands
like Olson. Pretty good throughout the line, too.

Thanks for the advice guys. I have been using a Timber Wolf blade
purchased at Woodcraft. Lookins around the suffolk site there seems to
be a couple maintance things I haven't been taking care of, lubricating
the blades, and maybe I can play with the tension some more.

In some ways I am looking for the next tool purchase, and for some
reason bandsaws are one of my favorite tools. For whatever reason
though my Grizzly G0555 doesn't fit the bill as being a favorite tool
to use.

I will try some of these ideas, and report if there is any improvement.

Try looking at the Rikon 18". It got pretty good reviews recently and was
rated best buy on machines up to around $2000. Here's one place to look
at
it.http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/ak/Tools/Power_Tools/Rikon/Band_Saws/Band_Saws_2654/RIK_10_340_Bandsaw_18_2_HP_12_5_Amos_2_Speed_1510_ prod/index.html
or http://tinyurl.com/bel5t.

here's another http://cwd-web.net/rikon/10-340-18BS.htm

Woodcraft carries them, too. Drawback is the 220V setup.

I haven't read any negatives about the saw yet.

I am so far from being a bandsaw expert, but the Michael Fortune article in
FWW stirred the pot significantly, in that he was consistently able to get
excellent results, without spending serious Euros on a monster Italian made
saw. I recommend a trip to the library, if possible.

Have you done any comparison with a 1/2" blade? People more
experience that I am has said the 1/2" actually gives a better cut
with less resistance on a 1`4" saw.

No. I'm not too experienced with it. I've practiced resawing, and done
some test cuts, so it seems to work. I'm not sure what I should see if
it doesn't work.
