Laguna Tools Revo 18|36 Ultimate Lathe – 220V
Product Overview
The Laguna Tools Revo 18|36 Ultimate Lathe – 220V is a heavy-duty woodturning lathe designed for serious hobbyists, professional woodworkers, and production shops. With a 2 HP TEFC induction motor, electronic variable-speed control, an 18-inch swing over the bed, and 36 inches between centers, it provides the capacity and control needed for a wide range of spindle and bowl-turning projects.
The lathe combines a rigid ASTM A36 steel bed with a cast-iron headstock and tailstock. Its Delta S1 variable-frequency drive converts single-phase 220V input to three-phase output, providing smooth electronic speed control and strong torque across the operating range.

Powerful 2 HP Motor
The 220V version uses a 2 HP, 1,725 RPM TEFC induction motor. The totally enclosed fan-cooled design helps protect the motor from workshop contaminants while providing the durability expected from a machine intended for regular woodworking use.
The motor works with the Delta S1 VFD to provide electronic speed control rather than relying solely on mechanical pulley changes.
Electronic Variable-Speed Control
The Delta S1 VFD converts single-phase 220V input into three-phase output. This allows the spindle speed to be adjusted electronically while maintaining useful torque at lower speeds.
The lathe provides two selectable speed ranges:
- Low range: 50–1,300 RPM
- High range: 135–3,500 RPM
A digital readout displays the spindle RPM, making it easier to monitor and fine-tune operating speed.
Large 18-Inch Swing Capacity
With an 18-inch swing over the bed, the Revo 18|36 provides substantial clearance for bowl turning and other large-diameter work.
For outboard turning, the machine can accommodate a maximum swing of 32 inches when the appropriate optional 20-inch extension kit is installed. The standard swing over the banjo is 13.5 inches.
36-Inch Distance Between Centers
The 36-inch distance between centers gives the lathe plenty of room for longer spindle projects. This capacity is useful when producing:
- Table legs
- Chair components
- Bedposts
- Balusters
- Long decorative pieces
- Furniture components
- Other elongated turned parts
The tailstock can be repositioned along the steel bed to accommodate different workpiece lengths.
Heavy-Duty Steel Bed
The lathe uses an ASTM A36 steel bed, selected for rigidity and durability. Laguna notes that the steel construction allows the cast-iron headstock to travel smoothly along the bed while providing a strong foundation for turning operations.
The substantial construction also contributes to overall machine stability, which is particularly important when turning large or unbalanced workpieces.
Headstock & Spindle
The cast-iron headstock houses the motor and variable-speed control system. The spindle uses a 1-1/4-inch x 8 TPI right-hand thread and an MT2 taper, allowing compatibility with a broad range of appropriate woodturning accessories.
A spring-loaded spindle lock makes spindle-related setup and accessory changes more convenient. The spindle also features 14-, 36-, and 48-position indexing, allowing the workpiece to be positioned at precise rotational intervals for layout and decorative work.
Tailstock
The cast-iron tailstock can be positioned along the bed and locked into place according to the workpiece requirements. Its 4.5-inch quill travel provides useful adjustment when supporting longer stock.
The tailstock uses an MT2 taper, allowing compatible centers and accessories to be installed. The quill is engraved and self-ejecting according to Laguna's specifications.
Adjustable Tool Rest
The included 12-inch tool rest can be positioned along the lathe bed to suit different turning operations.
Its tall profile is particularly useful for bowl turning and steep-angle work, while the leading edge incorporates hardened steel for improved durability.
Ergonomic Controls
Laguna designed the Revo 18|36 with controls intended to reduce interruptions during setup and operation. The headstock and tailstock locking handles are positioned toward the rear, while cam-lock mechanisms provide firm clamping when positioning the machine components.
The angled anodized-aluminum control panel incorporates the speed display and control knob, keeping the main operating controls accessible from the front of the machine.
Typical Applications
The Laguna Revo 18|36 is suitable for:
- Bowl turning
- Spindle turning
- Furniture components
- Table and chair legs
- Decorative woodturning
- Large-diameter turning
- Long spindle projects
- Professional woodworking
- Custom furniture production
- Advanced hobby woodworking
Optional Expansion
The Revo 18|36 platform can be expanded with compatible accessories. Available options include items such as a 3-inch riser block, 12-inch swing-away tailstock extension, deluxe wheel system, bed extensions, copying comparator, and other accessories.
These accessories can increase the machine's flexibility for specialized turning operations, improve mobility, or expand available working capacity.
Benefits for Woodworkers
Strong Low-Speed Torque
The VFD-driven three-phase output helps maintain useful torque when the spindle is operated at lower speeds, which is valuable for large-diameter turning.
Large Work Capacity
The 18-inch swing and 36-inch distance between centers make the lathe suitable for both substantial bowls and longer spindle projects.
Precise Speed Adjustment
Electronic speed control and a digital RPM display make it easier to select and monitor the appropriate spindle speed.
Stable Construction
The steel bed and cast-iron components provide a substantial platform for demanding woodturning work.
Flexible Workholding
The MT2 tapers, threaded spindle, indexing system, and compatibility with appropriate accessories provide numerous workholding options.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps maintain smooth operation and turning accuracy.
- Keep the bed clean and free of accumulated wood dust
- Clean the spindle and tapers before installing accessories
- Inspect the drive belt periodically
- Check spindle and tailstock components for wear
- Keep the tool rest clean and smooth
- Verify that locking handles secure components properly
- Inspect electrical connections and the power cord
- Follow Laguna Tools' lubrication and maintenance recommendations
- Disconnect electrical power before performing service or adjustments

Important Specification Note
The Laguna Revo 18|36 220V is the 2 HP version of the 18|36 platform. Laguna also offers a 110V version with a 1.5 HP motor, so the voltage and motor specifications should be checked carefully when ordering.
The manufacturer's documentation lists the 220V model as MLAREVO 1836-220. The 220V electrical system uses single-phase input and three-phase output through the Delta S1 VFD.
