Does the fence actually stay true when setting up for a measurement? My current table saw when I set my fence to say 8 inches, the place closest to the fence handle will be 8 inches from the blade but the far end will be 1/16th of an inch off or so. So I have to constantly measure the front and back of my blade to the fence and keep taping the fence over and over again to make sure I’m perfectly parallel. I’m wanting to upgrade my saw and love the SawStop but the Laguna F2 seems perfect for my needs, with a lower price tag. I just don’t want to have another fence with this issue
After cutting 8/4 walnut with an M18 contractor saw, this thing seemed amazing by comparison.
You lamented The difficulty of finding a wrench to use in lieu of the blade lock.I have a F1 Fusion and needed to replace my wrenches. Really difficult to find. I ended up finding a perfect replacement…an offset 18 mm wrench on a figure skating website.
Nicely presented!
I have the Fusion F1, because my shop is too small for the F2.
The F2 has better features, is bigger. F2 is worth the difference of price by far.
Thank you for the video. I also am a garage user of the saw, but mine does not have the digital readout. I purchased mine 2 years ago. My son and I make furniture (more of a modern take) but am learning more professional methods… dovetails, Domino, mortise / tenon, etc. I do agree on the flex tube hose above the blade. Yup, it works, but it seems a bit cheesy, as does the bracket. I love the fence. Cannot find any complaint. Truthfully, I love having a professional table saw. My former was a Rigid contractor-style pop-up. I still have it, but probably may never really use it much ever again. Over the past two years, I have had really great success and no downside issues. I don’t use the miter gage, as I purchased an Incra and a fence… also highly recommend the Rockler miter sled and drop off accessory. Thanks, and enjoy making things! Michigan says hi!
Made in TAIWAN. Not in Texas, USA
Appreciate the Pro/Con review and you noting how you use it. One question I have about this saw and several others I have looked at/considered few people think to review/comment on. That is how easy or not it is to change from riving knife to splitter and back again. Some saws make it so awkward that people start using the saw without either, not a great option. Could you comment on how you find the Fusion with this function.. Thx.
Thanks for the great overall review of the Laguna F2! I’d love it if more people that owned this would put more videos out on it. I think SawStop gets a lot of default new purchases simply because it’s everywhere! And this is a true GOOD! replacement for that as a new woodworker. I purchased mine about a year ago thanks to ShopNation’s video. I’d been wanted to upgrade from my Dewalt contractor saw for a while, but the intro pricing on virtually any brand of true cabinet saw was pretty daunting! And the middle ground area wasn’t that appealing. But the F2 is a truly great saw, especially for the money. Thanks again for your review.
I look forward to seeing what you make with it!
I ordered my F2 just minutes before the price increase last year. What I received a couple of months later was the upgraded F2 with the digital readout and a great saw overall. I had the 220 conversion kit and when I went to change it over the wiring was completely different (thanks to the DRO) and so I wrote Laguna about it. Seems I was the first to change it over and they had to get back to me. It took a few weeks but they finally wrote with the updated instructions. Must say that 220 is the way to go.
I went to make sure that everything was lined up and everything spec’d out… not as easy to adjust if things were out of alignment I think.
Overall, I’m super pleased with this machine and every time I walk into my shop I kinda pinch myself that I have something that’s stepped up my hobby of woodworking.
Thanks for your review
This is review yet on this saw !
Laguna has the worst customer service in the industry matched only by their horrible horrible warranty department I will never buy another Laguna two extremely disappointing
I cannot install my miter gauge from the front of the machine. its being blocked by the tilt wheel… anyone else with this issue?
Thanks for the review. There is definitely a Baileigh cabinet saw in my future but I love to see what’s out there and what other people think.
Great video! I was about to ask you about that saw when I saw it on ig.
