Professional-grade bandsaw upgraded and approved for safe use in NSW educational environments.

The Laguna 14BX Bandsaw – NSW Department of Education Compliant Edition combines the renowned performance of Laguna's premium 14BX with a range of modifications specifically designed to meet the operational and safety requirements of NSW schools and training facilities.

Each machine is professionally upgraded to align with current NSW Department of Education standards, typically incorporating enhanced switchgear, emergency stop systems and additional safety controls. Every unit is inspected and approved for educational use, providing confidence for teachers, administrators and workshop managers.

Building on the success of the popular Laguna 14|12, the 14BX features a more powerful 2.5HP motor, twin dust extraction ports and a heavier-duty one-piece steel frame. A foot-operated brake pedal and disc braking system allow the blade to come to a near-instant stop, improving both convenience and workshop safety.

At the heart of the machine is Laguna's distinctive pyramid-shaped spine, designed to minimise frame distortion under blade tension and maintain exceptional cutting accuracy. Combined with Laguna's renowned ceramic blade guide system, the 14BX delivers outstanding performance for resawing, curve cutting and general workshop applications.

Unlike conventional bearing guides, Laguna's ceramic guides provide ten points of blade contact, offering superior support, easier setup and greater cutting accuracy, particularly when working with deep timber sections.

The machine also features a quick-release blade tension lever for faster blade changes and an easy-to-read tension scale to simplify setup and ensure optimal performance.

Carbatec has extensive experience modifying woodworking machinery to satisfy the compliance requirements of NSW public schools, independent colleges, TAFEs and other educational institutions. Whether supplying a single machine or outfitting an entire workshop, modifications can be tailored to suit individual organisational or regional requirements.
