Laguna Tools Introduces the B:5 Horizontal Bandsaw

Laguna Tools, a leading name for professional woodworking and metalworking machinery, is proud to announce the release of the B:5 Horizontal Bandsaw. Designed for metalworking shops that require portability along with precision and reliability, the B:5 brings portable, professional-grade metal cutting capability to operations of every size.

Running on standard 120V power with no special wiring required, the B:5 is powered by a 1HP motor with a variable blade speed dial ranging from 82 to 262 FPM. This allows users to optimize cuts across a wide range of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, copper alloys, cast iron, and aluminum. With a 4.92-inch round bar capacity at 90 degrees and a cutting angle range of 0 to 60 degrees, the B:5 is built for accurate, repeatable results in a compact 46.3-pound package.

“The B:5 is for the shop that needs a dependable metal cutting solution with the flexibility to operate nearly anywhere,” said Juan Palacios, Dake Sales Manager at Laguna Tools. “Set it down, plug it in, and it’s ready to cut. That simplicity, combined with variable speed and a solid vise system, makes it an ideal first bandsaw for metalworking.”

Key Features: 

• 1HP Motor with Variable Blade Speed (82–262 FPM): Runs on standard 120V power with no special wiring, and the speed dial lets users optimize cuts across carbon steel, stainless, aluminum, copper alloys, and cast iron. 

• 4.92″ Round Bar Capacity and 60° Mitering: Handles round bar up to 4.92 inches and rectangular stock up to 5.12 x 4.92 inches, with cutting angles adjustable from 0° to 60°, well beyond the 45° limit found on most bandsaws in its class. 

• Integrated Swivel-Jaw Vise: The vise jaw auto-adjusts to any stationary jaw position, enabling secure work holding for both straight and angled cuts. 

• Work Stop Rod Assembly: Included as standard equipment for repeatable, consistent length cuts without re-measuring. 

• Cast Aluminum Base and Saw Frame: Keeps weight low while maintaining blade stability, delivering precision and portability.
