Dear Woodworker:
Thank you for your purchase and welcome to the Laguna Tools group
of discriminating woodworkers. I understand that you have a choice
of where to purchase your machines and appreciate the confidence
you have in our products.
Every machine sold by Laguna Tools has been carefully designed and
well thought through from a woodworker’s perspective. I cut on our
bandsaws, lathes, table saws and combination machines. Through
my hands-on experience, I work hard to make our machines better.
I strive to give you machines that inspire you to create works of art.
Machines that are a joy to run and work on. Machines that
encourage your performance.
Twenty years ago Laguna Tools was founded to introduce European
woodworking machines to the North American woodworker. Today,
we offer high-performance machines with innovative solutions that
meet the needs of woodworkers and their ever-evolving craft.
I started Laguna Tools as a woodworker, I still am.
Thank you again for becoming a Laguna Tools customer.
Torben Helshoj
President and Founder - Laguna Tools
Imagination, Innovation and Invention at work.
