Good info. Thank you. Allow me to make a friendly suggestion. You can buy for 30.00 a vacuum outlet .. where you plug your saw and vac into it , it in turn plugs into power outlet. Then when you turn on your saw the vac turns on and off with the saw. Makes life a bit easier.

Dave, use a paste wax such as Brix on the cast iron top. It prevents rusting and makes everything slide more easily. I use the wax on the bandsaw table, jointer bed, and lathe bed too. I use a dry lubricant on the rest of my table saw and other machine bodies. I just used up some CRC I had, which works great, and I bought the New rust preventative from WD-40. They have quite the extensive line now and thought I would try it out. I'm in CT and I get what you are saying about the humidity. I hate it the older I get, lol.

Hi Dave. I have had my fusion table saw the fusion 3 . I am so pleased with the saw after 5 months. Andrew Burchell ASB Woodworking from Reading in the 🇬🇧

Hi David Sam from Alaska love how you broke it down. I got mine earlier in 2021 along with the 1412 band saw Great machines they are. I added an extension wing to the right of my table saw and also built a zero clearance insert it is absolutely a wonderful saw keep up the good work I have subscribed cheers from Alaska

Looking to see more of your videos in the future. Good luck with that saw.

Thanks for the video. I’m convinced now this is the table saw I’m going to order

Hey David, thanks for the video. I too just bought a Fusion 2. I have had it for a couple of weeks and everything you said is spot on! The fit and finish on mine is very impressive. The only thing I have to do yet is convert to 220v. I have the kit but the DRO makes the conversion a bit convoluted. Looking forward to your next video. Jim

Welcome to KZfaq, David. Thank you for your first impressions and I look forward to your views in a couple months. My dad is wanting to reopen his furniture shop (after 20 years away from it) and he is needing a better table saw. You have earned a subscriber.

This will be my next saw. Thanks David

Thanks for the video. I bought the F1 as my first table saw back in May and love it. You make me wish I’d sprung for the F2.

Awesome Job and thank you for rockin the CDN tee-shirt.

Thanks, Dave! Well done. I will be watching.

So, just wanted to say 1. Great video, always looking for the common man reviews of this type of equipment and 2. Really digging on those Mad Max goggles!! 😁 Hope to see some of your projects using the fusion.

Great review - thanks Dave

I ordered my Laguna 2 in March 2021 and I just go it 2 weeks ago. Love it.

Definitely invest in Johnson’s paste wax and treat the cast iron, you’re probably getting stains in places you’re skin has touched the cast iron Thanks for the video!

I have ordered mine, it arrives next 11 November, cant wait. I am super excited.

Great first video. Editing software is for sissies. I have been looking to replace my rigid (which really has been great for the money) and from all I've seen, I'm convinced this is the one. I'm glad you spoke of the price because I started looking last spring and now that I'm ready to buyI was questioning my memory cause I'd have sworn it was cheaper then.

Didn't see your video till after I purchase even though I purchase the F1 still a nice saw.

great video

I have just about convinced my wife to go along with this purchase. Good luck and I agree with paste wax comment. Ill be watching

No software needed!!!!! Keep up the good work brother!

First vido Great job

Dave, this was a great decision! I have purchased the same unit about two months earlier so I missed out on the two recent upgrades, I use a Wixey digital angle gismo magnetically mounted on the saw blade so I'm not sure this feature was worth $400 dollars. Never even thought about High/Low fence indicator gage so I guess I don't need it. I love how the saw works. Recommend some stain protection for steel table top right away on assy. You didn't mention the fence sliding toward the operator to avoid blade pinching & kickback. This feature provides the same level of safety as the Sawstops electronics, w/o the additional $1000.00 cost. Simple things are best!

Great video and review. Your first video??? Your presented like a pro. Been watching every Laguna F2 vid I can find. Guess I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and pull the trigger...

Hi David Great video very well presented. I’m currently looking for a new tablesaw after working with a DeWalt contractor saw - very well made and accurate but at 105 decibels and poor dust control not really suitable for workshop use. Your presentation and comments will certainly help with my decision . Regards from New Zealand. David

That's awesome customer service by Laguna. Might buy from them myself but considering Grizzly.

Thank You, David. very informative and well structured for a first video. F2s are really nice saws for the price. A few observations: I noticed, as You lock the fence in place, the far ed of it lifts in the air, which tells me it locks only at the front and not the back. How much does the back deflect when pushed on? Also, to make the cuts even safer and to improve cut quality, I'd lower the blade so that it's only about a tooth's height above material and raise the bench behind the saw so that it serves as a proper outfeed table. Also, consider getting a remote control for that dust collector or a relay that switches it on/off automatically (with a delay). Worse, but still functional - extension cord with a switch under the table saw fence rail that turns the dust collector on. Walking to it to switch it on and off again past the end of the fence rail every time You need to make a cut is just asking for a tear or a bruise. Have You tried rip cutting hardwood of say 2 inch thickness, and if so, does the 1.75hp motor struggle?

Hay Dave if you haven't already use some past wax on the table to reduce the moisture

Great first video! I’m looking into this saw and you answered my question: does the fence suck?!

Just don't let it deep rust and it'll be fine, the patina shows character and experience

I also just bought a Fusion 2, should be here tomorrow. I ordered mine back in March as well. I was wondering if it would have the upgrades, and it seems it will. looking forward to getting it setup.

Nice video. Is there a reason you like your blade all the way up? Thank you for your thoughts on this table saw.

i want those safety glasses!

Hey David, I'm curious how you are feeling about the f2 after 8 mos. Are you still liking your Laguna?

I'm on the fence about getting the Fusion 2. I was about to pull the trigger but the one thing that has me stopped is a couple of people saying that they had problems with their customers service. $2000 is not a ton of money for a table saw, but I expect good customer service for any problems.

I’m in the market for a new table saw.

Hi David, I'm considering the Fusion 2. I've seen some comments on forums saying that some folks are having issues with dust collecting inside the cabinet - though others say Laguna fixed this with the latest version. What is your experience with this? Also, I keep looking for your follow-up video on the Laguna; are you still loving it? Thanks.

Hi Dave, my saw has not arrived yet. I watched a few videos about them fence, and I am really concerned about the fence, there is no support on the other end of the fence, how much play is there, especially if you are cutting large boards the inaccuracy will exacerbate the problem. Whats your opinion.

Hi David Nice video, thanks for sharing Why not connect the switch of dust collection with table saw switch No need to go here and there to do so

Hi Dave. Use some automotive wax and polish the top and it will protect it from stains and rust sir.

It looks like the blade is too close to the front of the saw table, do you find this to be an issue?

Why do you have the saw blade so high on your rip cuts?

How does the 1.75hp motor hold up to hardwoods? Like maple, walnut, padauk, purpleheart, etc. Thanks!!! :)

Hey brother, nice channel. Always looking for new content.

Certainly admire your attention to safety however lowering the saw blade to avoid unnecessary exposure is suggested.

I really do not see the fascination people have with Laguna especially considering how many complaints they have against their customer service . For the money the saw is not that great . it has an aluminum trunnion and their motors are underpowered . compare that to the likes of grizzly that have heavy cast iron reunions and waay more power and very good customer service . i bought a 8 " jointer from them and discovered after i set it up that it had a small crack under the i feed table . i took a photo of it and e mailed it to Grizzly . they responded immediately and said they would send me a new machine and pay for the shipment of both machines . all that happened within forty eight hours . i've never heard of any customer that had that level of response from Laguna .

editing software, fast forward button 😂😂😂

I edit videos if you need an editor!

Laguna is the worst company when it comes to customer service or warranties they do not respond I repeat they do not respond I would not buy any tools from them I bought a jointer a year and a half ago and it’s still sitting in the corner of my shop can’t use it it came in damaged no one seems to want to be responsible for it
