Laguna Tools REVO 12|16 Lathe
Product Overview
The Laguna Tools REVO 12|16 Lathe is a compact woodturning machine designed for woodworkers who want reliable performance without taking up excessive shop space. With a 12-inch swing over the bed and 16-inch distance between centers, it is well suited to bowls, spindles, pens, handles, small furniture components, and other medium-sized turning projects.
The REVO 12|16 combines a 1 HP motor, electronic variable-speed control, and a sturdy cast-iron construction. Its compact design makes it particularly practical for smaller professional workshops, home shops, and woodturners who need a versatile machine for everyday projects.
Key Features
1 HP motor provides dependable power for a broad range of woodturning applications.
12-inch swing over the bed accommodates bowls, platters, and other projects within the machine's turning capacity.
16-inch distance between centers provides useful capacity for spindle turning.
Electronic variable-speed control allows the spindle speed to be adjusted to suit the workpiece and operation.
Digital speed display provides a clear indication of the selected spindle speed.
Forward and reverse operation adds flexibility for sanding and finishing work.
M33 x 3.5 spindle thread supports compatible chucks and woodturning accessories.
MT2 Morse taper accommodates compatible centers and accessories.
Cast-iron construction provides a stable base for controlled turning.
Compact footprint makes the lathe suitable for workshops where floor space is limited.
Adjustable tailstock provides support for workpieces mounted between centers.
Motor and Variable-Speed Control
The REVO 12|16 is powered by a 1 HP motor and uses electronic variable-speed control. This allows the operator to adjust spindle speed without repeatedly changing belt positions.
Variable speed is useful when working with different sizes and types of wood. Larger or initially unbalanced workpieces can be turned at a lower speed, while smaller and well-balanced pieces can generally be operated at higher speeds as appropriate.
The correct speed should always be selected according to the workpiece diameter, weight, balance, and manufacturer's operating recommendations.
12-Inch Swing Capacity
The 12-inch swing over the bed provides sufficient clearance for a wide range of smaller bowl and faceplate-turning projects. This capacity makes the REVO 12|16 suitable for woodturners who primarily work with smaller blanks but still want the flexibility of a full-featured stationary lathe.
The 16-inch distance between centers also provides room for many spindle projects, including:
Furniture legs
Chair components
Handles
Tool handles
Candlesticks
Decorative spindles
Small shafts and turned components
Spindle and Tailstock
The REVO 12|16 uses an M33 x 3.5 spindle thread, allowing compatibility with appropriately sized chucks and other accessories. Its MT2 Morse taper supports compatible centers and turning accessories.
The tailstock provides additional support for longer workpieces and can be positioned along the bed according to the size of the project.
