Dado Sets: We are frequently asked about the use of Dado sets, something which is common practice in Laguna’s homeland, the USA. The rules and regulations are different here in the UK and in Europe. To operate a table saw safely: a crown guard must be in place at all times. When using a Dado set the crown guard is removed and therefore this is considered unsafe and not allowed in the workplace.
NEW version for 2022 includes the following upgrades:
- Blue LED Digital readout for faster indication when making bevel angled cuts. Reads to a 10th of a degree.
- Dual hairline readout lines to help make working easier no matter whether the sub fence is in the high or low position.
Fusion3 Tablesaw – NEW UPGRADED MODEL FOR 2022
A classic US-style cabinet mounted table saw which will not only impress but exceed your expectations.
The first thing that will catch your eye is the large precision ground mirror-finished tabletop which allows excellent workpiece support. A rear outfeed table adds further stability when ripping long lengths.
The classic ‘T Style’ rip fence, is exceptionally smooth moving and rock-solid when locked, a pleasure to use with an easy cam lock handle and will guarantee accurate cuts. The Hi-Lo fence design allows narrow cuts even in thin material. The measuring scale is marked in both metric and inches.
The substantial professional ‘zero clearance’ throat plate is suitable for all blade angles and is supplied as standard, it has fine adjustment grub screws to precisely line up to the table surface and is also easy to remove.
The cast polished hand wheels control the arbor, so that the rise, fall and tilt give a lovely buttery smooth blade movement, courtesy of a 2:1 ratio gearbox.
The heart of the saw is the powerful braked motor which is mounted onto the powder-coated one-piece cabinet base via solid cast aluminium trunnions. This mounting method ensures the tabletop is left unstressed by the motor weight and guarantees a perfectly flat working surface.
Dust extraction is a crucial part of any machine for operator safety and machine longevity. A crown guard hose in conjunction with the interior blade shroud are collected from a single side port.
The standard equipment also includes: A wheel kit integrated within the base, onboard storage points for all the accessories, mitre fence that is hyper-accurate when travelling in the T slots, 40 tooth TCT sawblade, quick-release riving knife for fast blade changes, 1.8m power cable with industrial 3 pin 16 amp plug. A 16 amp fixed electric supply is required to run this machine.

I ordered my saw on Tuesday and it was delivered on Friday. Top marks to Yandles and Laguna for prompt delivery with excellent packing. I am delighted with this table saw, it was very easy to set up, it’s very portable due to the wheels. Whilst I have not yet used it a lot, I am extremely impressed with the quality and the power of the motor. Quality of materials and finish are excellent. This is my second Laguna piece, I’m lucky to have the drum sander as well. I hope to invest more in Laguna, undoubtedly through Yandles, very impressive service, thank you.

I recently sold my Altendorf after deciding to outsource the majority of my cutting, but I still wanted something small for bits and bobs; the Fusion 3 fit the bill perfectly. As long as you have a square corner to work from (rail saw with TSO rail square in my case) it’s very accurate and also quiet.
The fence is good enough, but I clamp it down at the back to eliminate any flex, of which there is some. The digital readout is, in my opinion, an unnecessary gimmick and not accurate. I favour a magnetic digital box level on the blade itself. There are a couple of other minor niggles, but not worth going into because, after all, its a £2k machine and it is what it is.
In short, it’s a great little saw if you’re realistic about what to expect for the money. It’s 5 stars from me as there’s an easy fix for each of it’s shortcomings.
The staff at Yandles were also very helpful.

Excellent service and very quick delivery. Also after care was good and they quickly put me in touch with the appropriate people when the installation instructions were not explicit (Laguna’s error).
