The Big League: 46 Laguna Industrial Machines + The All-New 24|BX

Heavy Metal Has Arrived: The Laguna Industrial Expansion

If you thought we were just about hobbyist gear, it’s time to recalibrate. At Norfolk Wood Shop, we’ve just leveled up the entire region's woodworking game. We’ve added 46 specialized machines from the Laguna Industrial line to our catalog, and just for good measure, we brought in the all-new Laguna 24|BX 24" Resaw equipped with the DriftMaster Fence DXIII.

To be clear: the Industrial line and the 24|BX are different animals. One is built for 24/7 production environments where downtime is a sin; the other is the new king of the BX series, designed to give you massive resaw capacity without needing a literal factory to house it. Whether you're a high-end furniture maker or a production shop owner, the "ceiling" for your work just got a lot higher.

The Industrial Heavyweights (All 46 of Them)

Laguna’s Industrial line isn't for the faint of heart—or the thin of floor. These 46 machines represent the pinnacle of Laguna's engineering. We’re talking about massive cast-iron jointers with helical heads that make knots feel like butter, production-grade planers, and the legendary Italian-made bandsaws that have defined the industry for decades.

When you move into the Industrial category, you aren't just buying a tool; you're buying mass. Mass dampens vibration, and zero vibration equals a finish that requires half the sanding time. Most of these machines run on 3-phase power, meaning they provide the constant torque required to feed thick stock all day without the motor even breaking a sweat.

The New Star: The Laguna 24|BX Resaw

While the industrial line handles the heavy production, the 24|BX is the machine everyone is talking about. It takes the user-friendly DNA of the 14|BX and 18|BX and scales it up to a massive 24-inch resaw capacity. If you’ve been dreaming of slicing your own book-matched panels from massive burls or wide slabs, this is your solution.

The real "secret sauce" here is the DriftMaster Fence DXIII. Let’s be honest: blade drift is the bane of any woodworker's existence. The DXIII allows you to micro-adjust the fence angle to compensate for the blade’s natural lead. No more shimming, no more "close enough." Just perfectly parallel cuts, every time.

• 24" Resaw Capacity: True industrial-scale capacity in a footprint that fits a serious shop.
• Magnetic Starter: Protects the motor and ensures safety during power fluctuations.
• Ceramic Guides: Because at this scale, roller bearings just can't compete with the stability of ceramic.

Safety Warning: Industrial-grade machinery, specifically those in the 46-machine industrial lineup, often require 3-phase power or high-amperage 220V circuits. Always verify your shop's electrical capacity and consult a licensed electrician before purchase. These aren't "plug-and-play" tools for a standard 110V wall outlet.

Pro Tip: Blade Choice is Everything

You can buy the best industrial saw in the world, but if you put a $30 hardware store blade on it, you’ve essentially bought a very expensive paperweight. For the 24|BX and the Industrial bandsaws, we recommend a high-quality carbide-tipped blade. The increased tension these frames can handle allows carbide to shine, delivering a glue-line rip straight off the saw.

Why Make the Jump Now?

Efficiency is the only way to scale a woodworking business. If you’re spending three hours sanding out mill marks or struggling to get a straight cut on a wide board, you’re losing money. By adding the Laguna Industrial line and the 24|BX to our inventory, we’re giving you access to the tools that turn hours of labor into minutes of precision work.
