This makes it the ideal saw for craftsmen who work in both wood and metal. Patented disc brake stops the momentum almost instantaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrous metals (steel, iron, stainless, etc.) require substantially lower blade speeds to produce viable cuts without damaging the blade and pulleys. Meanwhile, wood, foam, plastics, and other materials cut much better with higher blade speeds as they are much less harsh on the blade. The 18|CX allows you to easily control the blade speed to ensure optimum performance across all these material types! The 18|CX gives you ultimate versatility unlike a traditional Resaw that has a fixed blade speed that is typically set strictly for wood, plastics, and composites. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual Blade Speed Adjustment Lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Speed Pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100SFM-3500SFM Adjustability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical Blade Speed Controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast Iron Pulley Wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic Guides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoot Actuated Disc Brake \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor: HP 1-3\/4 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Power: 110-120 Volt AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Breaker: 20 Amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor Input (inverter): 166 VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThroat: 18-7\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable - Cast Iron: 20\" x 26\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable Tilt: - 7 degrees + 45 degrees\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable Height: 38\" (965mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Speed: 100MIN – 3500MAX SFM\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlywheels: Cast Iron\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 145\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Blade Width: 1-1\/4\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum blade width: 1\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuides: Laguna Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 77-3\/4\" (1,790mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine Dimensions (L x W x H): 38\" x 36\" x 77-3\/4\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase Footprint: 27\" x 20 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 480lbs \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage size (L x W x H): 55\" x 22\" x 25\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eUnique Components\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh\/Low System\u003c\/strong\u003e - The mechanical High\/Low System provides a mechanical High and Low range to keep the bandsaw in the correct torque range for the blade speed and materials being cut.  The high\/low system should be set first and then the final speed should be set by turning the speed control level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed Control Lever\u003c\/strong\u003e - The speed control lever can be used to change the speed on the fly if needed, meaning that you can increase or decrease speed during the cut to optimize the performance of the blade in the specific material being cut.  It is located for easy access on the rear panel of the lower unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eManuals\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/8655\/2375\/files\/14CX_Owners-Manual.pdf?v=1780766499\" title=\"14|CX Owners Manual\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e18|CX Owners Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vanguard Tool Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42260529872951,"sku":"MBAND18CX110175","price":4899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/8655\/2375\/files\/Laguna-Tools_18CX_Bandsaw_Front-Right-Quarter-View.jpg?v=1780775790","url":"https:\/\/vanguardtoolsupply.com\/products\/laguna-tools-mband18cx-18-cx-16-vertical-bandsaw","provider":"Vanguard Tool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
