Chet Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 I am looking for a light for my bandsaw. It's the Laguna 1412 which came with a light but it is the older style light, not the ones they have now with the articulating arms. The one I have just doesn't have any useful range. This has me looking for something with a strong magnetic base because it will be in a vertical mounting situation and some sort of adjustability like a gooseneck or something. Any recommendations?

I've been running these on my bandsaws for years.. I can't find a name brand on them but, I think I picked them up at the big box store. The base sticks really well and doesn't move with the saw's vibration. Also, the arms don't move either but, you do have to crank them down pretty good. I may have also painted them black.. It's been so long that I just don't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted November 17 Author Share Posted November 17 Kev, that is the style I have been looking for but I am guessing that they aren't out there much anymore because of all the led offerings. I did find one online the other dat that looked pretty much like yours but it was $165 a copy. 😲 Didn't you get the articulating one with you Laguna bandsaw?

No, I did not get lights with either of my bandsaws.. Next time I'm in the big box store, I'll have a look and see if I can still find them. I promise I didn't pay anywhere near that for those lights! I did find a post on Pinterest that Peachtree may have them??? https://www.pinterest.com/pin/528539706259276997/ Still looking though...

A couple of years ago I found one in the catalog from that router bit company that Marc used to talk about, I think at the time he had a small palm router from them. The company's name was three letters. But anyway Kathy tried to order them for a Christmas gift for me but they were out of stock. hey we $24 at the time.
