"Laguna Tools Celebrates 27 Years of Innovation and Success!
Laguna Tools proudly celebrates 27 years of success with our most impressive line of woodworking machinery ever. And this year we are also deeply honored to have had the opportunity to reach out and make a difference in the life of a brave young man.
First, there was a dream Our founder, Torben Helshoj, had already won the prestigious Silver Medal for outstanding woodworking awarded by the Queen of Denmark before coming to America. Once he arrived Torben was quick to notice that American woodworking equipment wasn’t up to par with European machinery in terms of safety, functionality and basic features found abroad.
Spotting an opportunity, Torben and his partners decided to import a European 5 function combination machine, which became the cornerstone for Laguna Tools. He produced an informative video and in no time, Laguna Tools was in business.
One success soon led to another, and it wasn’t long before Laguna Tools had laid down a solid foundation built on superior performance, precise results and innovative features that enhanced safety and improved the functionality of essential woodworking machines. Along the way we always pioneered new technology, including our DriftMaster Fence system that continuously wins accolades from experts and enthusiasts alike. And today our bandsaws are known worldwide as the ultimate in bandsaws.
Laguna Tools is also uniquely different as we are a company founded and run by a passionate woodworker. Torben Helshoj, who is also president of Laguna, has a hand in every facet of the design and manufacture of every piece of equipment we offer. His background in engineering allows for the development of woodworking machinery that continues to set new benchmarks in all areas of performance, quality and precision. His innate knowledge has always set us apart and enables us to offer the equipment that woodworkers really need to take their craft up to the next level."
