I have the Laguna LT18, an older model but made in
Italy. The wheels are machined and balanced, it's the tires
that are rubber. The bandsaw has no vibration and passes
the nickel test easily, even during startup. Unless they've
changed their philosophy recently, all Laguna bandsaws
are made in Italy.
Actually, a few models are made in Bulgaria.
I've got the LT16SEC - made in Italy - 2.5 hp Meber
bright bright blue TEFC motor (bright colors seem
to be favored by Italian companies). I can balance
a dime on edge on the table, start the machine, slice
and dice and the dime stays standing. So it ain't
necessary to get an Aggazzini to make 1/16th inch
slices. A good "blade lead" adjustable fence, some
fair to good guides, set right, a 1/2" 3 tpi hook tooth
blade tensioned properly and you're off and running
making translucent slices.
