"Should have bought a SawStop" is all I've heard from my brother after sharing the small issues with this Laguna F1. But this saw can cut hot dogs!

I just assembled my F1 this week. Epic fit and finish! Not one piece was out of alignment. Top quality.

I do own a Laguna F1 as well, and got no issue whatsoever with the wings as soon as I realized one is for the left side and the other for the right side. The holes are indeed offset for that same reason. I love my Laguna F1, no regret... (I bought the F1 as the F2 would not fit in my little shop.

Well now that's some interesting stuff. Would love to see photos or details if you have them. Laguna's part list only has one number for the wings - so no apparent right or left. And if there is a left and right then it's even more mind boggling that they sent me two more with with additional holes in the same spot on both sides AND not in the right spot!

Great channel name! Best of luck to you.

I too own a Laguna F1. I did not have the issues you have but my blade is out of alignment and cannot be fixed. The trunnion holes are the same diameter as the "adjustment" bolts so there is nowhere for the motor assembly to move. Serious design flaw. I will be posting a video on my channel shortly.

My wings were also not correct. Saw is a little over a year old, and I traded them the mobile wheel set for my troubles.

You don't need a saw stop . most people that are trained properly in the use of machinery have never had an accident their entire life . it's a very small percentage of people that don't pay attention that get hurt . What did people do before saw stop ? oh yeah they took a safety training course and never deviated from those procedures . Personally i think saw stop makes some people less fearful when operating their saws . why do i say " less fearful" ? because a little bit of fear heightens one's awareness to pay attention .

I was so excited to buy laguna f1, but I am not anymore after watching this video. I can't to buy a table saw and I don't want to have more problems to solve. Thank you

Wow... Anecdotal evidence from a stranger that admitted he's not very handy (which means there is a reasonable chance the problem is operator error) is enough for you to make a definitive conclusion about a product u were planning to buy? That is... Completely unhinged...

Line up the table wings on the saw... clamping in place if possible.. Drill a pilot hole thru wing AND CI table.. 1/8" would do.. Drill clearance hole in wing Drill tapping-size hole in saw Tap the hole... Fixed... 🤗 I know I know... you shouldnt have to do this with a new product... just explaining how to fix it... I'm a machinist so this would be a trivial matter but maybe not for you, I understand... Good luck with it & mind those hotdogs.. 🤟 Have a sub & a like ... now make sawdust !! 😏 From the Emerald Isle 😎👍🏻☘🍺

Yeah the only words I understood in your comment were "clamp", "drill", and "hot dogs"! 😂😂. You nailed it, more the principle. And I was shocked they didn't ask for specific measurements before taking the time to send new wings. I assumed it was a broader problem - how is only one table off?? Seems unlikely. Thanks for the tip and sub luv from "across the pond"!

Thanks Marcus! Sorry to hear that I'm not alone! Have you contacted Laguna about it? Curious if you get a different response.

I know this may sound a bit absurd but did you try rotating the wing 180 to see if it would line up. Some time they make thing universal so it could mount either side. Laguna has a history of BAD customer service. I purchased a knew table saw during Black Friday but didn't receive it till after Christmas but its a fantastic saw. I went with Harvey it was $300 cheaper than Laguna on sale. Solid table saw with a 4 hp motor vs the Laguna only came with a 3 hp. If you search around you'll find vids on Laguna bad customer service. One stands out after about 2 months the motor mount broke and it was a massive can of worms he was dead without a saw for weeks don't know what happened but that is improper of a company to leave a problem such as that just hanging because of this I didn't even consider Laguna. Saw Stop for what I have would of ran $5400 I only paid $2900 but they offered a 5 hp motor frankly 4 is plenty. Wish you well and spend your saved money on a few safety items to keep your fingers away from the meat grinder. Push sticks, sleds, Micro Jig , etc. NEVER reach for a piece of wood turn the saw off just keep your wits about and if you're tired or having emotional issues , loss of family or even pets will distract and THAT is when an accident can happen. Best to take a break for a few days.

Hey thanks Shack! Yeah flipped every which way and no bones. Bummer to hear their customer service is a bust. Never understand why companies don't invest in that - a sure way to build loyalty! Enjoy that 4hp! You going to cut some stuff with that thing!

I was looking at Harvey Table Saw but their shipping was $550😂 is that normal?
@TheShackHome2 жыл бұрын
@@skyypham No and sadly yes now when I purchased my table saw I think they were averaging 300 to 350 for shipping but because of the madness nowadays just look at the price at the pump shippers pass on their hard ships to the consumer so now everything cost more to ship so sadly that is normal now

So as of now, Laguna still hasn't responded to you?? Thats pretty disappointing when Laguna is a popular brand, I wouldn't expect that from them. I see absolutely no reason whatsoever to pay that kind of money for a Saw Stop unless you plan on purposely putting your fingers in that blade. Sure accidents happen, but Man has been using table saws for decades with mostly no problems and they never had break like the SS has. Other than that, I can't see how SS is any better than the other brands.

Yeah, nothing after I pointed out the hole was still off. Just annoying after spending that kind of money. Really curious if mine was the only one with that issue or if there was a batch of them.

My F1 is a POS. Cast top not even close to flat. Measuring with a "REAL STRAIGHT EDGE" and feeler gauges it is over .012 off. The fence is joke. Had it for six months and have not cut one piece of wood with it. Says 15 amp, nope 20 amp. Getting electrician for additional high amp circuits for saw and dust collection. $100 for wheels. $1799 total for a TOY. Laguna, never again!
