Combining effectiveness and space with Laguna Tools’ Combo Machines

From Laguna Tools

Possessing an effective set of tools where space is a priority is a challenge. In Europe, innovations such as the combination machine helped solve this problem. Now, Laguna Tools brings this innovation to the other side of the pond through its own line of combination machines for the American woodworker.

Combination machines, as the name implies, combine the functionality of several different machines into one package. These machines make great use of space and cost less that the individual machines, making them ideal for hobbyists and amateur woodworkers. The company offers several selections of combination machines that put together the functions of between two to five different machines.

On the most basic level is the Platinum Series’ joiner-planer combination, with a size and functionality ideal for small spaces. The size 10 alone has enough power for the home hobbyist and small shop. These come equipped with either a traditional straight cutterhead or a Laguna Tools Shear-Tech spiral cutterhead.

At the opposite end of the scale are the combination machines in the Platinum Series with five functions. It features two different motors with distinct power settings and combines a joiner–planer unit, table saw, shaper unit, spindle sander, and mortiser in one device.

Also available from Laguna Tools are accessories for many of its machines, including the combo machines. More information on the machines themselves and the company’s other products are available at its official website.

Laguna Tools: Showing commitment in making high-quality woodworking equipment

When Laguna Tools founder Torben Helshoj first came to America, he quickly noticed the difference between the woodworking efficiencies of American and European machineries. He noted that the machines used by the Americans were significantly lagging behind in terms of safety, functionality, and basic features.

Helshoj, who won the prestigious Silver Medal award from the Queen of Denmark because of his proficiency in the woodworking field, decided to start a business that would take America’s woodworking industry a level higher. Torben and his partners chose to import European machines to serve as the foundation of the business that came to be known eventually as Laguna Tools.



Through the dedication Helshoj had shown as the president of Laguna, he made way for numerous accomplishments for the company. The DriftMaster Fence system, for one, gained the approval of woodwork experts and enthusiasts alike.

At Laguna Tools, complaints from woodworkers are hardly ever heard because of the state-of-the-art woodworking accessories, bandsaws, boring machines, drill pressers, and dust collectors—among many others—that the company offers. The bandsaws from Laguna Tools, specifically, are highly regarded by woodworkers as among the best in the world.



Laguna Tools also makes sure that the machines they provide passionate woodworkers with are affordable as Helshoj and the team of experts that compose the company believe that innovations should not come at an expensive price.
