I bought a 1412 about 5 years ago. It has had a lot of use and I have been very happy with it. I like that I can put a 3/4" blade on it and make pretty significant resaws all the way down to smaller blades and cut tighter curves if I want.

[@TheThoughtfulWoodworker]

Yeah, my old cast iron bandsaw maxed out at a1/2" blade, so I appreciate a 3/4" blade on the 1412. Thanks for weighing in.

Nice timing for this video. Two days ago, I made the decision that my next tool purchase was going to be a standalone bandsaw, and I've been looking heavily at this very Laguna model. Thanks!

I bet you'd like the 1412. Thanks

Are there any adjustments for squaring the table to the back of the blade (for joinery), or is that a matter of shimming the table? Any adjustment for aligning the whole blade guide column to the blade? (minor annoyances from my current Delta cast iron saw)

[@TheThoughtfulWoodworker]

Well the blade is in a fixed position and the table tilts to set 90 degrees. There's a dead nut to return to 90 each time you tilt it. No adjustment to skew the blade left or right, that would be a fence adjustment. I use mine all the time for notching and it works great for that. Best.
