Laguna Tools 14|CX Metal & Wood Bandsaw
Product Overview
The Laguna Tools 14|CX Metal & Wood Bandsaw is a versatile floor-standing bandsaw designed for workshops that need the flexibility to cut both wood and suitable metal materials. Its two-speed configuration allows the machine to operate at substantially different blade speeds, making it possible to select a lower speed for metal cutting and a higher speed for woodworking.
The machine combines a rigid steel frame with a cast-iron table, dynamically balanced cast-iron wheels, ceramic blade guides, and a quick-release blade-tension system. With approximately 14 inches of resaw capacity, it provides a useful balance of cutting capacity and workshop footprint.
Key Features
- Designed for wood and metal cutting
- Approximately 14-inch resaw capacity
- 14-inch throat capacity
- Two selectable blade-speed ranges
- Low-speed range for suitable metal-cutting applications
- High-speed range for woodworking
- 1.75 HP motor for substantial cutting power
- Large cast-iron work table
- 10-point Laguna ceramic blade guides
- Dynamically balanced cast-iron wheels
- Quick-release blade-tension system
- Adjustable anodized-aluminum fence
- Integrated dust-collection ports
- Disc brake with micro-switch

Note: Laguna has produced multiple configurations and generations of its CX-series machines. Exact electrical specifications, table dimensions, blade length, weight, and speed ranges should be matched to the specific 14|CX SKU/nameplate before publication.
Dual-Material Cutting Capability
The main advantage of the 14|CX is its ability to accommodate both woodworking and appropriate metal-cutting operations.
Metal generally requires significantly slower blade speeds than wood. The machine's low-speed setting provides the operating range needed for compatible metal-cutting blades, while the higher range is intended for woodworking.
The correct blade type, tooth configuration, cutting speed, and feed rate should always be selected for the material being cut.
Variable-Speed Operation
The 14|CX uses selectable speed ranges rather than operating at a single fixed blade speed. This gives the operator more flexibility when moving between materials and cutting operations.
A typical configuration provides:
- Low range: approximately 100–290 FPM
- High range: approximately 1,200–3,500 FPM
The low range is appropriate for compatible metal-cutting applications, while the high range is intended primarily for wood.
Resaw Capacity
With approximately 14 inches of resaw capacity, the 14|CX can handle substantially taller workpieces than compact benchtop bandsaws.
This capacity is useful for:
- Resawing lumber
- Producing thinner boards
- Cutting thick hardwood
- Preparing cabinet components
- Cutting furniture parts
- Processing suitable metal stock
- General stock preparation
When resawing large pieces, proper blade selection and workpiece support are essential for maintaining a straight, controlled cut.
Ceramic Blade Guides
Laguna's 10-point ceramic blade-guide system provides support close to the cutting area. Ceramic guide components are designed to withstand the friction generated during blade operation while helping maintain blade alignment.
Proper guide adjustment is important for both accurate cuts and blade life.
Cast-Iron Wheels
The machine incorporates dynamically balanced cast-iron wheels designed to provide smooth blade movement.
Balanced wheels help reduce unwanted vibration and contribute to consistent blade tracking, particularly during demanding cutting operations.
Cast-Iron Table
The substantial cast-iron table provides a stable platform for supporting workpieces. Its rigid construction is particularly useful when processing large boards or other heavy material.
For angled work, the table can be adjusted according to the machine's specified tilt range.
Aluminum Fence
The included anodized-aluminum fence provides support for straight cuts and resawing. Its adjustable configuration allows it to be positioned according to the size and type of workpiece.
A properly aligned fence is particularly useful for maintaining consistent results during repetitive ripping and resawing operations.
Quick-Release Blade Tension
A quick-release blade-tension system simplifies blade changes and makes it possible to release tension when the machine will remain unused for an extended period.
The operator should always verify proper blade tension and tracking before returning the bandsaw to service.
Dust Collection
The 14|CX includes provisions for connecting dust extraction equipment. Effective dust collection can reduce the accumulation of wood dust around the cutting area and improve visibility.
When cutting metal, however, operators should use a collection and cleanup method appropriate for the particular metal and cutting process. Metal chips and dust should not automatically be treated the same way as woodworking sawdust.
Disc Brake
A disc brake with micro-switch provides controlled stopping of the bandsaw after the machine is switched off. This feature is especially useful on a floor-standing machine with heavy rotating wheels.
Typical Applications
The Laguna Tools 14|CX is suitable for:
- Professional woodworking
- Furniture making
- Cabinetmaking
- Resawing
- Hardwood processing
- General stock preparation
- Suitable metal cutting
- Fabrication work
- Custom woodworking
- Serious home-shop use
Benefits for Woodworkers & Fabricators
One Machine for Multiple Materials
The two-speed configuration makes the machine more versatile than a conventional woodworking-only bandsaw.
Useful Resaw Capacity
The approximately 14-inch resaw height provides plenty of room for processing substantial lumber and other tall workpieces.
Stable Construction
Cast-iron wheels and a heavy-duty frame provide a solid foundation for demanding cutting operations.
Controlled Blade Guidance
Ceramic blade guides help maintain blade alignment and stability.
Flexible Workshop Equipment
The ability to switch between appropriate wood- and metal-cutting configurations can save valuable shop space for users who work with both materials.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps preserve the machine's cutting accuracy and service life.
- Inspect the blade before each use.
- Maintain proper blade tension and tracking.
- Keep ceramic blade guides clean and correctly adjusted.
- Inspect wheel tires for wear or damage.
- Keep dust-collection ports clear.
- Remove accumulated chips and sawdust from the machine.
- Check fence alignment periodically.
- Inspect drive components and electrical connections.
- Release blade tension during extended periods of storage when recommended.
- Follow Laguna Tools' maintenance instructions for the specific machine configuration.

Important Specification Note
The Laguna 14|CX should not be confused with Laguna's 14|BX or other CX-series bandsaws. Because Laguna has offered different CX configurations and specifications over time, exact figures such as blade length, table dimensions, motor amperage, machine weight, overall dimensions, and electrical requirements should be verified against the exact SKU or manufacturer's nameplate before being used in a product catalog.
For metal cutting, use a blade specifically rated for the material and operate within the manufacturer's recommended low-speed range. The machine should not be treated as a dedicated metal-cutting bandsaw simply because it has a low-speed setting.
