Laguna Tools LT24 HD Italian Bandsaw
Product Overview
The Laguna Tools LT24 HD Italian Bandsaw is a heavy-duty industrial bandsaw designed for demanding resawing, furniture production, lumber processing, and large-scale woodworking applications. Manufactured in Italy, the LT24 HD combines a substantial cast-iron table, large flywheels, a powerful motor, precision blade-guiding components, and a high-capacity resaw configuration.
Depending on the configuration, the LT24 HD is available with a 5 HP motor and 220V power, with three-phase and higher-horsepower configurations available on certain versions. The LT24 family includes both the LT24x17 and LT24x24 configurations, providing different resaw capacities for users with different production requirements.
Key Features
- Heavy-duty Italian construction for professional woodworking environments.
- 5 HP motor provides substantial power for demanding cutting and resawing.
- 220V operation with single-phase or three-phase configurations depending on model.
- Large resaw capacity suitable for tall stock and large timber.
- 23-1/4-inch throat capacity provides ample room for wide workpieces.
- Large cast-iron worktable supports heavy lumber during cutting.
- Laguna Guide System provides precision blade guidance.
- Rack-and-pinion upper guide adjustment allows convenient guide positioning.
- EZ Tension indicator helps simplify blade-tension setup.
- Geared trunnions provide robust table support and adjustment.
- High/low aluminum fence provides flexible support for different resawing operations.
- Foot-operated brake allows rapid stopping of the machine after operation.
- 4-inch dust port provides connection to a suitable dust-collection system.
- Wide blade compatibility accommodates blades from approximately 1/8 to 1-1/2 inches, depending on guide configuration.
Powerful Motor for Heavy-Duty Cutting
The standard LT24 HD configuration uses a 5 HP motor, providing the power required for substantial resawing and general bandsaw work. Laguna lists 220V single-phase operation as standard on the LT24x17, while three-phase and 7.5 HP configurations are available as options on applicable models.
This power level is useful when processing dense hardwoods, tall boards, large bowl blanks, and other demanding stock. Proper blade selection and feed rate remain important for achieving consistent results.
High Resaw Capacity
The LT24 HD family is designed for users who need considerably more resaw capacity than a conventional workshop bandsaw.
The LT24x17 provides a 17-5/8-inch resaw capacity, while the LT24x24 increases capacity to 24 inches. Both configurations provide a 23-1/4-inch throat capacity, making them suitable for large workpieces.
This makes the LT24 particularly useful for:
- Resawing thick boards
- Producing veneers
- Cutting large bowl blanks
- Processing wide hardwoods
- Furniture component preparation
- Timber preparation
- Large curved cuts
Precision Laguna Guide System
The LT24 HD uses Laguna's Guide System to support the blade during cutting. The upper guide assembly uses a rack-and-pinion adjustment, allowing the operator to position the guide accurately according to workpiece height.
Proper blade-guide adjustment is important for maintaining blade stability and achieving accurate cuts, especially during tall resawing operations.
Large Cast-Iron Table
The substantial 24 x 34-1/2-inch table provides extensive support for large workpieces. Its size is particularly useful when handling heavy lumber that needs to remain stable as it moves through the blade.
The table is supported by geared trunnions, which provide a robust mechanism for table positioning and adjustment.
Blade Capacity
The LT24 HD accommodates a broad range of blade widths. Laguna specifies a maximum blade width of 1-1/2 inches, while the standard minimum is 1/4 inch; blades down to 1/8 inch can be used with the appropriate optional Cool Blocks on the LT24x17.
This range gives the machine considerable versatility, from relatively narrow blades for detailed cutting to wide blades optimized for resawing.

Foot Brake and Safety
The integrated foot brake provides a convenient way to stop the bandsaw after completing a cut. This is particularly useful in a production environment where operators need efficient machine control between workpieces.
The machine should always be operated with the appropriate blade guards and safety systems in place. Operators should also follow proper blade-tensioning, workpiece-feeding, and machine-shutdown procedures.
Dust Collection
The LT24 HD includes a 4-inch dust port for connection to an appropriate dust collector. Effective extraction is especially important when resawing large quantities of lumber, as the process can generate significant volumes of chips and fine wood dust.
A properly sized dust collector can help maintain a cleaner work area and reduce accumulation around the machine.

- Professional resawing
- Furniture manufacturing
- Cabinetmaking
- Veneer production
- Large bowl-blank preparation

Why Choose the Laguna Tools LT24 HD Italian Bandsaw?
The Laguna Tools LT24 HD Italian Bandsaw is built for woodworkers who require more capacity and durability than a conventional shop bandsaw can provide.

Important: Blade is not included. Verify the exact LT24 configuration before purchase, particularly resaw capacity, motor phase, blade length, electrical requirements, and included accessories, as specifications differ between LT24x17 and LT24x24 versions.
