Jointech CL-12

You can’t get in contact with Jointech as they are no longer in business even though they still have a web site up. The fences work nice I used to have one on my old router table if you have any special questions feel free to ask and I will try to answer your questions.

Thanks Richard, I haven’t had a chance to put the table to use yet. I’m going to keep your name in mind when I do use it in the future. I was able to purchase a 10 year old Laguna 18” bandsaw from the same shop. Have to run the wiring for the saw and find a good location for both in the shop.

That’s kind weird as I used to have the same band saw as well? It’s a good band saw as well. I sold mine and purchased a brand new LT 18’’ with a Driftmaster fence and the ceramic guides. This is something I would recommend for the saw if doing a lot of resawing (Driftmaster fence). Did you see the saw work? Just asking because when I bought mine used the guy didn’t even know how to turn it on due to the 3 switch start up. Just let me know if you have any questions.

The bandsaw I purchased has a 2 switch start up. I must pull the top switch out then rotate the bottom switch to the right. The Luguna I purchased has a 13” resaw capability which will be plenty for my purposes. I believe it has the cool blocks on it as well. I ran my new wiring to it, (runs 30 amp @ 240 volt). Using the 1.25 resaw blade that came with the saw I ripped a piece of oak. It was almost as smooth as as the table saw cuts, and it was a very accurate cut. A big upgrade from my 1/2 HP 14” Rockwell (which I still have a soft spot for).

The blade or the guides must be off a tad though, the saw makes a brief rubbing noise once a rotation. With time, I’ll get to the bottom of it.

I know the knew Luguna’s have matched resaw with wheel size and the must have multiple manufacturing locations now. This saw appears to have been manufactured by ACM for Luguna.

I know it is early, but I believe this is the last bandsaw I will buy (which is more than can be said for some of my other tools)

Thanks again
