The Laguna 4HP Dovetail saw differs from other saws in many Ways:Two massive dovetail castings allow the blade to raise & lower in a vertical movement, rather than pivot, thus ensuring more surface contact lowering vibration.Flat poly-groove belt transfers power from the 4 HP Motor to the over-sized arbor housing.The saw meets the latest CSA/UL requirements.It has a quick release for both blade guard & splitter knife that allows you to change them without removing the Throat-plate.
The Laguna 4HP Dovetail is a throwback to a time when things were over engineered.
