These pieces of equipment are sure to make your workday far easier. Even more so, they are suitable for every employee to use, so no intense training needed. They will also guarantee maximum safety which is always a bonus!

The Rehnen Laquer Stand.

The first product we offer is the Rehnen lacquer stand. This product can be adjusted to suit any conditions, making it extremely versatile and useful for almost anything. It also features a stable design which allows the stand to support workpieces of up to 300 kilograms. As well as this, the rotary lacquer stand has adjustable support arms and rotary height adjustment, further proving its versatility and practicality, making it suitable for all woodworkers and carpenters alike.

Rehnen’s rotary lacquer stand comes at a fantastic price when you buy with Grovewood machines too, from £329.00 plus VAT, with delivery at an extra cost.

The Rehnen Ecoflex Drying Rack.

Another Rehnen product we sell is the Ecoflex drying rack. This is a cost-effective piece of equipment that helps save space and creates a gentle solution for storing painted workpieces. The four swivel castors that it has means that it can also be used for transporting workpieces. It is also created with a solid tube design that can be adjusted between 200mm and 1500mm. Also, with seventeen plastic coated support tubes on each side, the rack can support up to 400kg of evenly distributed weight. Furthermore, the plug-in support tubes can be taken out and put back in on the rear side of the rack when or if needed. When not being used, the drying rack can be collapsed and takes up little space, which means anyone can use it without having to worry about spacing issues. Like the rest of Rehnen’s moving and handling range, the Ecoflex drying rack comes at an affordable price from £415.00 plus vat, with optional extras like additional racks and retaining grids for an additional cost.

This piece of equipment has a board swiveling system, which helps you to move large boards from an upright and a horizontal position. The support frame is hydraulically height adjustable too and can also be swiveled as required. Moreover, support castors help to move boards into a horizontal position, rather than upright. This product has also been designed with four swivel castors, meaning safer in-house transport is ensured. The technical data for the transport and storage cart is as follows:

The Rehnen Varioflex Drying Rack.

The final product from Rehnen’s storing and handling range that Grovewood Machines offers is the Varioflex drying rack. This is a user-friendly drying rack that saves space and is a gentle solution for storing painted workpieces similar to the Ecoflex drying rack. However, there are some differences between the two models. The Varioflex’s solid tube design can be adjusted from 200mm to 2000mm, while the Ecoflex can be adjusted from 200mm to 1500mm. Aside from this, both models have seventeen plastic-coated support tubes that can be taken out and reinserted, which help the rack to support up to 400kg of evenly distributed weight. Also, the drying rack can be collapsed when not in use, meaning it takes up minimal space. However, there are more optional extras for the Varioflex model, including additional racks and plastic-coated support tubes. The technical data for this product is as follows:

• Length: 200 – 2000 mm
• Depth: 870 – 1180 mm
• Height: 1855 mm
• Variable support tube length: 650 – 1.500 mm
• Support tube spacing: 70 mm

Laguna Table Saws

Laguna is an American woodworking brand, originating from California. Their new and unique machinery has been extremely popular recently among woodworkers in the UK and Europe, so much so that they are difficult to get your hands on! It’s clear to see why they are in such high demand too, as the excellent quality and amazing features allow the company to stand out among the rest. Laguna has two table saw models, the Fusion 2 and the Fusion 3. Both of these are a classic US style cabinet table saw that is said to “not only impress but exceed your expectations”. Bringing US style machinery across the pond to the UK and Europe shows the uniqueness of this company and the products they offer.  Grovewood Machines are proud to be official Laguna dealers.

Features:

Both the fusion 2 and 3 models have lots of the same features, but a few minor differences. These are some of the similarities between the two models:

• A large precision ground mirror finished table top- this allows good workpiece support.
• A rear outfeed table that adds further stability.
• A classic “T style” rip fence- which is exceptionally smooth moving and rock solid when locked, so guarantees accurate cuts.
• The Hi-Lo fence design also allows narrow cuts in even thin materials.
• The professional ‘zero clearance’ is suitable for all blade angles.
• The fine adjustment knob also screws to precisely line up to the table surface and can be removed too.
• Cast polished hand wheels that control the arbor, so that the rise, fall and tilt give a smooth blade movement.
• There is also a powerful braked motor that is mounted onto a powder-coated one-piece base cabinet via solid cast aluminium (fusion 2) or iron (fusion 3) trunnions. This ensures that the table top is left unstressed.
• Also, the dust extraction is a crown guard hose in conjunction with the interior blade.

Differences between Table Saws:

There are a few differences between the fusion 2 and fusion 3 models. This does not mean, however, that one is better than the other. The different models are made to meet different people’s needs, whether they be just a hobbyist or an experienced professional. It’s all about what works for you and your wants and needs in a machine, because these table saws, regardless of the model, will still be of top quality and have all the same benefits. One of the main differences between the models is the size of the motor. The fusion 2 motor is 1300w whereas the fusion 3 motor is 2200w. As well as this, the fusion 2 has cast aluminium cabinet mounted trunnions, while the fusion 3 has cast iron cabinet mounted trunnions. Although these are the main differences to take note of, the fusion 3 also has a few features that the fusion 2 does not have, like a thicker gauge industrial grade cabinet, and a right hand MDF infill table.  The extra features in the fusion 3 are reflected in the slightly higher price point, also ensuring that you are getting the best quality features for your money.

Why we love these:

• High quality machines at an affordable price point
• Guaranteed accurate cuts with the ‘T’ style rip fence
• Easy to set up, with one customer saying they “unboxed it in under 20 minutes”.
• The 2 machines cover a wide range of needs and is very versatile, so can be used by any woodworker.
• Great stability (so it’s safe) thanks to a few of the features, like the rear outfeed table.
• It has excellent reviews, with one person saying that the fusion 3 is a “great piece of machinery”.

Houfek is a new brand we are excited to now be supplying here at Grovewood Machines Ltd. They are one of the world’s leading manufacturers of machine tools and wide belt sanders.

Why buy a Laguna Dust Extractor from Grovewood Machines?

Laguna offers a range of cyclone dust extraction systems (also known as dust collectors): the CFLUX series, the PFLUX series and the BFLUX series. Every single Laguna cyclone has the following features:

• Remote start and stop
• Riveted steel fan with backward curved fin design
• Smart lift collection drum
• Inlet with splitter and rubber blanking cap
• Portability with four swivel castors

Health & Safety

We all know that in our industry there are numerous health risks and the health and safety of your employees as well as yourself is paramount. A dust extractor is a must for any size work shop large or small and Laguna offer 3 different ranges to suit your needs.

The CFLUX Range

The CFLUX range at Laguna is one of its kind. They are suitable for either dedicated single machine use or as part of a small ducting system, making it highly versatile. It has a horizontal chute, designed to maximise air flow and all the shapes and dimensions have been carefully designed to optimize the performance of the machine. Moreover, the fan is housed inside a single piece of horizontal plenum that reduces airflow resistance. The CFLUX range is also supplied with a one micron canister which is highly pleated to increase the surface area and maximise airflow too. You can clean the canister using the crank handle attached to the internal paddles.

Furthermore, the ingenious smart lift system quickly engages and disengages the collection drum with just the pull of a lever. The octagonal drum is raised off the floor and so seals against the drum lid. With the drum lifted in this position, the CFLUX1 is fully portable on the four strong castors that are mounted to the frame. The drum sits on another set of castors once lowered so can be quickly carried to wherever the rubbish needs to be let out.

This machine is supplied with a remote start handset, one collection bag for the main drum, one collection bag for the filter dust and a 1.8 mm power cable (with no plug). A 16 amp fixed electric supply will be required to run the dust extractor, and Laguna recommends using an industrial 16 amp 3 pin plug (the round blue type). The CFLUX1 can also be equipped with an optional automatic filter. You can add this on at the time of purchase or buy as an add on. This auto clean kit includes a smart sensor which detects an increase in static pressure. This shows that the filter is starting to get clogged up, and so automatically starts the cleaning procedure.

The PFLUX Range

The Laguna PFLUX cyclone series is one of the most revolutionary designs to ever hit the woodworking market. The HEPA class canister filtration along with so many other unique features is what makes these high end cyclones market leaders. They are a perfect choice for those people looking to minimise workshop dust to the lowest level possible. Some features exclusive to the PFLUX range include:

• HEPA filtration down to 0.4 micron
• LED warning light when collection drum is full
• LED warning light when HEPA filter needs cleaning
• Swing away doors with acoustic foam to lower the noise level
• A Semi automatic emptying of the canister dust

As well as this, a 100 mm (4”) hose port is located at the end of the HEPA filter to allow an automatic emptying of the fine dust collected in the chamber.

The BFLUX Range

And finally, the smallest but most certainly not the weakest, the BFLUX range. An exceptionally well built machine that is compact and has a portable extractor that is ideal for a smaller workshop. Some features of the BFLUX machine includes:

• 1hp quiet induction motor
• High filtration level of 99.7% at a 1 micron particle size
• High portability on swivel castors
• Runs on a standard 13 amp supply
• Long life, balanced steel fan

The BFLUX1 is described as the “most beautiful” single stage dust collector on the market according to Laguna, with a sleek design and plenty of power to match. It also comes with a patented Snap-band that makes changing the bag quick and easy, meaning no more fumbling with the steel band to lower the bag. Lastly, the BFLUX1 comes standard with a polyester spun bond which provides the 99.7% of particles at 1 micron as mentioned above.

Robland Panel Saws from Grovewood Machines

Grovewood Machines have been official Robland suppliers for nearly 20 years. We often get enquiries for Robland panel saws. They are perfect for professional woodworkers of any standard, with entry level models all the way up to the best of the best.

About Robland

Robland was founded in 1968 by Robert Landuyt in Bruges, Belgium. Their success was achieved by combining good quality with affordable prices, as reflected in their products.  The product range at Robland has been extended massively since being founded, now offering machines like planer thicknessers, spindle moulders and edge banders too. In 1992, the company saw the introduction of their first panel saw, the Z320. From there, Robland has created a well-deserved reputation, even seeing them celebrate their 50th birthday back in 2018, which we were fortunate enough to attend.

With 28 years of experience in building high quality panel saws for affordable prices, you’ll be sure to find a model that’s perfect for you. The company has two types of panel saws, compact and large format. Large format is perfect for people with more floor space and looking for a top quality machine, whereas compact is perfect for people who struggle with space, but are still looking for the features of a professional panel saw.

The Range of Robland Panel Saws

The NXZ and E300 models are entry level compact panel saws. They still offer many of the exceptional features that Robland has to offer but at a lower price point. The NXZ has an optionally available belt driven scoring unit which limits the maximum cutting depth to 85cm. Similarly, the E300 offers an optionally available motor driven scoring unit that allows a maximum cutting depth of 100cm.

Perhaps you’re looking for a model with all the features of a professional panel saw but don’t have enough floor space? Robland created the CZ range with exactly that in mind. This range comes in a wide selection of saw diameters (300,400 and 500mm), sliding tables, outrigger tables, options like digital readout and accessories, which can be combined with either a manual (M) or electrical light (EL) height and tilt of the blade. Furthermore, the saw aggregate is made from one piece of cast iron for natural absorption of vibrations. This therefore offers superior precision and stability. There are 3 series in the range:

-CZ300

-CZ400

-CZ500

Within that, there are models within these series:

• CZ300 consists of the CZ300 M and the CZ300 EL.
• CZ400 consists of the CZ400 M, CZ400 EL, CZ400 X1 and the CZ400 X3.
• CZ500 consists of the CZ500 M, CZ500 EL, CZ500 X1 and the CZ500 X3.

As for large format panel saws, Robland offers 3 series, as well as one entry level machine called the E2500. This machine includes a motor driven scoring unit and the company’s exclusive Balls on Steel System (BOSS). This system ensures smooth operation of the sliding table. The Z series has a wide variety of saw diameters to offer- 300, 400 and 500mm, and these correspond to the names of the machines. Furthermore, they offer sliding tables, outrigger tables, options and accessories, which can be combined with one of four executions: manual, electrical height and tilt of the table, controlled parallel fence and a three axes controlled machine. The saw aggregate is made of one piece of cast iron for natural absorption of vibrations, which therefore gives superior stability and precision.  There are 3 ranges that Robland has to offer:

About Laguna

Laguna Tools was founded in Laguna Beach, California. Almost three decades later, Laguna is the market leader in the American woodworking machinery market. Combining new and innovative solutions with high quality manufacturing standards has enabled the company to earn a well-respected reputation in both their home market and across the world. Over three years, the Laguna is being made available to buy in Europe by being re-designed to meet CE regulations while retaining their uniqueness. Grovewood Machines is one of the leading stockists of Laguna Tools in the UK, boasting high quality machines at competitive prices.

Who are buying Laguna Bandsaws?

Laguna machines are extremely popular across the UK at the moment, especially for hobbyists who have taken up woodwork during lockdown, or maybe even professionals who are looking to extend their passion to their homes. Stock is often low and machines are becoming more difficult to get hold of. This shows that they are one of the best when it comes to bandsaws for both hobbyists and professionals!

The Laguna Bandsaw Range

The 14|12

Their exceptional bandsaw range, in particular the 14|12 model, has won many awards, due to its innovative designs and affordable prices. Some of these awards include Editor’s choice ‘Best Overall’ in Taunton’s 2015 Tool Guide, as well as Editor’s choice ‘Best Value’ in Taunton’s 2015 Tool Guide.

The Laguna 14|12 bandsaw was first released in 2015 in the USA and became an instant success. It won many awards and is even the best seller in the entirety of North America! It’s large depth of cut, premium build quality and many professional features make it a favourite among joinery shops and high-end home DIY workshops. Optional accessories for this machine includes a 14/12WK deluxe wheel system designed for maximum stability and ease of use with a single pedal to engage, an SMG: sliding mitre fence that’s adjustable to 60 degrees each way with positive stops at 0 degrees, and 141206-20: a selection of high  quality, premium woodpecker blades.

The 14|BX

The Laguna 14|BX bandsaw was built upon the success of the 14|12 model. They both have a similar specification, however the 14|BX has a more powerful 2.5hp motor, as well as twin extraction ports. As well as this, a foot switch and disc braking system has been added to more conveniently stop the saw and bring the motor to a stop in an instant. With outstanding features and a premium build quality, this model will appeal more to professional joinery shops.

The 18|BX

Lastly, the Laguna 18|BX bandsaw is a scaled up version of the best selling 14|12. They share all of the finishing touches and distinctive features that made the 14|12 an award winner. This larger model is designed to be tough enough to handle any daily job in a professional workshop. Again, a disc braking system and foot switch has been added to the bandsaw to stop the saw more conveniently. Some other features that differ from the other models in the band saw range include a resaw capacity of 16” and efficient dust extraction. Optional extras for this machine include an 18BXWK deluxe wheel system designed for maximum stability and ease of use, an SMG: sliding mitre fence that is adjustable 60 degrees each way with positive stops at 0 degrees and 45 degrees each way, and an 18BX06-27: a selection of high quality, premium woodpecker blades.

Some features of the Laguna bandsaw range includes:

• A pyramid shaped spine that minimises frame distortion
• A braked motor that provides enough power for even the deepest of cuts. There’s a quick blade release tension lever that makes blade changing faster too.
• A micro polished cast iron table that’s mounted onto an oversized trunion with two locking points, ensuring a solid work space.
• Solid cast iron wheels that are dynamically balanced and fitted with polyurethane tyres, which are designed to last longer and run cooler than normal tyres.
• Double windows to allow you to look at both the tension and tracking while the machine is running

One of the most unique advantages of the Laguna bandsaw range is the famous ceramic blade guide system. These blades make ten points of contact that allow an easy set-up and more accurate cuts. The use of long life ceramic guides allow for a greater blade contact area than typical bearing guides. As a result, there is more support for the blade and a larger cutting accuracy.
