Hi Keith,

I am also living in Ireland looking to purchase the same Laguna Fusion 3 table saw. I seen the saw for sale on the IGM website and it was much cheaper then my local shop.
Just wondering how did you get on, did you purchase the saw?

This is reply I got today regarding if I needed warranty work done with table saw

Hi Shane, yes it's a 30mm flange on the outer washer. Cross section attached for info.
Cheers, Nick

Hi all

whats so special /different about the Laguna fusion3 table saw ?

 

[Shane‘s weekend builds]

Also just got it from IGM, well packed and I managed to bring it to the basement by disassembling the cast iron table. few pics below.
@Robert, once you fire it up first time I would be really curious how you judge the vibrations it emits. Really like the saw, but I hope i will be able to make it running smoother somehow. I had to put an anti-vibration mat below the saw, otherwise the whole floor was vibrating.

I was going to use the brackets that help it down on pallet,that were attached to saw,to bolt it to floor when I finally decide what spot I want it in, hopefully that would stop vibrations
Best of luck with new saw

Received a new Laguna Fusion 3 today. Ordered it from IGM on Nov 19, with a projected shipping date of Dec 21. Took 2 weeks to arrive in France, but infairness was over the Christmas holiday period. Machine seems great, and exactly as advertised (I was thinking it may have been a bit over-hyped by the American style advertising) Good news is that the new machines require much less assembly. Cast iron wings come attached as does the power switch and short rail for the fence. Wings needed slight adjustment, as did the fence, but the table was right in-line with the blade. Fence measure was also installed .

Took maybe 2.5 hours to set up and tune the saw which is less than expected.will report after using it more.

Have you tried removing and refitting the blade? If so try replacing it.

Why on this machine there is not the big STOP on/off paddle switch?

CE regs - we took decision to go for standard NVR switch due to timescale to launch & factory input - still looking into it to see if we can put paddle on as I'd like to see it too if we can.

It would be great if this would be available to retrofit =-)

I had seen this on Axminster and thought of a possible retrofit - but it seems only able to handle 1.5hp induction motors.
