Opinions of Laguna SmartShop II and III
I am considering these machine for cabinet boxes, will primarily cut prefinished birch ply. Does anyone have experience with these machines? Are they good quality and are replacement parts readily available? Would I be better off with a more known brand?

We looked hard at Laguna and in all the research we did and owners we spoke to we didnt hear of any drastic problems although you'll likely hear cautionary tales. The decision was very close but in the end we wanted a domestic machine and to support a domestic manufacturer. That said they were pretty much #2 on the list.

Brandon,
I have a Smartshop 2 that I got new 7 years ago. I had a few electrical problems that Laguna sorted out by replacing the Mach-based control system with the B&R controls. Since then (3 years ago) it has been trouble free.
The new Smartshop are very capable machines and Laguna really support their machines.
When we change the machine, we will go with another Smartshop.
