.25".

At first I was going to ask you how you got the 1/4" oak, but just
for kicks googled 1/4" oak, and ended up at Rocklers (which gets too
much of my money already).

Since I don't have a really good bandsaw, I must ask which Laguna you
have, but I'm pretty sure my hobbyist needs won't warrant the
investment. Nevertheless, what Laguna bandsaw do you have?

The expensive one. :-). Seriously., I has a Craftsman for many years
and avoided using it because it had to be set up every time I used it.
Replaced it with an 18" Rikon and still was not happy. I was
especially not happy with the roller guides on the Rikon. While roller
guides seem to make perfect sense they ended up being noisy and
vibrated when dirty. Then I saw the Laguna and it's 10 point ceramic
guides and I have been very happy with the saw.

It is the LT 16 HD with the 4.5 hp Baldor motor. There are much les
expensive models available.

I'm sure it makes sense for you, but those are Festool prices!!


It really did not make sense, however I use the saw much much more than
the previous two. I wanted a saw that would perform when called on to
do so vs. one that would need to be tweaked every time I needed to use it.
