Just saw this video and it seems to be quite a benchtop bandsaw with an impressive list of features: cast wheels, 1hp motor, cast table, outfeed rollers, onboard light. It seems significantly nicer than my old 9” Delta!

Well this is the first time I've thought a bandsaw was supercute!
Looks really handy though, and good quality. This would fill a need in most woodworkers sheds I'd reckon.
Based on the US price, it looks like it'll be around the $1200-$1500AUD range for us if it's released in Oz.

People have been buying used Inca 10.5" bandsaws for decades because there wasn't anything in this size with that quality. Even now, a used Inca probably can be gotten for about half the price of this new one, although this one might have some advantages due to use of cast iron. I think the resaw on the Inca might be slightly higher, too.

Looking at Carbatec's Laguna BS prices I reckon it will be more than that.

That was going to be my suggestion. Eagle Tools in LA has a ton of INCA and their 3-wheel bandsaws have a nice throat for the compact size. For awhile, I was tempted to get one for marquetry. -sigh- shop space

I was trying to be optimistic but I reckon you're bang on! ;-)
I hate how we get screwed on the pretty things!

I owned a 3-wheel Inca 710 bandsaw with riser block some time ago. It's hard getting all 3 wheels aligned well. I sold it and got a big 540mm Italian bandsaw that I still use today.........
I reckon a laser level could be used to sort out that problem as it gives a reference to both axis.

Regarding the 3-wheel Inca, I wonder if the riser block is the issue??? I've had zero problems with mine, but I don't have the riser block.

Yeah, I thought about that. I bought the bandsaw used from Eagle Machinery. They're usually really good at setting up the equipment.
At this point I'm going to say that it was my own fault 20 years ago for expecting the bandsaw to be as non-finicky as a tablesaw. No cheap laser levels available back then.
I'm going to back up a little and admit I've never tried to put a narrow blade on my 710. I've got a 5/8" blade on it for resawing and ripping. I have one of the little 10.25" Incas with a 1/4" blade for curved cutting.
