I know what you mean. I even give it a thumbs up before looking at it. Always great & useful content.

You are not the only one, my friend.

Haha me too! I actually get excited to watch it too

I like it.

Yes, but would have been very heavy, which is why I didn't go that route

@@ShopNation Fair enough.

Do you still have the f2 and no issues still happy with it

Good tip!

Came with my Laguna

@@ShopNation THANKS

Definitely a concern! We shall see

Added now, sorry hit publish too quick!

@@ShopNation Thanks!

Learning how to speed up prints is a skill unto itself. I learned early in the pandemic when I was printing face shields 24/7 for local hospitals. One shield initially took like 3 hours to print. Over the course of a week or so I was able to get that down to two shields every 30 minutes...on the same printer with the same filament. There are a huge number of optimizations possible, so don't let your friend's experience dissuade you from jumping into 3D printing!

@@StormGod29 What did you use for the clear part of the shield? I'm not familiar with any filament that's crystal clear like what would be needed for the vision part of the shield? Then, again, I haven't really looked, either. lol I ask because, being such a pain to put a dust mask on then a face shield with goggles and then ear protection on top of that everytime I want to use the table saw or miter saw, I thought how nice it'd be to have a clear mask that I could slip on like a helmet, but with room for the over-the-ear ear protection that I use because things stuck in my ear (like ear plugs) really irritate the heck out of my ear canals. To have the ability to plop a full-head mask on over my ear protection would save probably about 30 seconds of prep time. The old rule is true: The faster and easier it is to use PPE, the more apt we are to actually use it. So, that being said, if I could find some material to use, even as an insert (probably the only way, really), I could 3D print something for my head and affix the clear stuff onto the face opening. Any suggestions are appreciated and thanks in advance! :)

@@Lakusus don't get excited over a new filament, the face shields were PLA and then you slip in a sheet of transparency film to form the shield. Everyone was really printing headbands and then getting the shield from Amazon. I hear you on PPE; the easier and more comfortable the more compliance you can expect.

That was the original plan, however if I were to extend beyond the cast iron table section I couldn't use it. If it's mobile I can still use it on the back fence rail. Either way works really

I was not thinking permanent attachment but a cut out so it would be held in place by sides and you could lift it out vertically. Similar to the spot you made for it on the organizer. That way when you need to hold some art work up on the fridge it just lifts out. Please do not think I do not like the concept/ design. It is pretty slick. Your channel has inspired me to organize my shop better. Made cabinets for the end of the garage last Christmas because I liked how nice your mitersaw setup looked.

I would say no. Look into alternatives from harvey, grizzly or king Canada depending what’s available in your area. They all offer the same 2hp cabinet saw in different branding made in the same factory in Taiwan. Brand doesn’t mean much as they aren’t doing any engineering or design, they are just picking specs and features out of a catalogue.

To add my personal experience, I was set on the laguna F2 until I touched it in person next to the king Canada. The laguna was much less stout in every aspect but had a nicer look and better throat plate. I was so turned off by the laguna (especially being the more expensive choice) that I decided to wait 4 weeks for the king Canada saw even though the laguna was available same day. In the end, thanks to covid, the king Canada was delayed further and that pushed me to a sawstop 3hp PCS. I don’t regret it at all, but do understand it’s not affordable for everyone.

barf!

Okay I commented before the end. I thought you were going to incorporate the magnet into the fence. I know you could figure out a way to do that so that is the idea you should patent.

$1399 USD (even sub $2k in CAD) it does hold steady, if you don't reef on it.

I wouldn't quite go that far...yes the fence flex is a concern but not scam-worthy

His video on the Laguna was VERY clear that he wasn't endorsing or even reviewing it yet, just explaining why he went that way. I bought a Laguna for a lot of the same reasons he listed and though there are limitations I would neither blame him nor regret my purchase. (Also Laguna support has been stellar when you reach out to them).

The fence is literally the most important part of the saw. If it flexes the saw isn’t worth the price tag.

@@StuartGeers does their customer support sent a fence that doesn’t flex when you call with concerns? It isn’t a cheap saw, you should not be getting flex like that when you spend that kind of money. They should stick to bandsaws.

The laguna fence is definitely undersized vs competing saws in the same price range. I guess it was a trade off for the fancy looks and paint.
