Discount Lee Valley Laguna Revo 12 | 16 Midi Lathe Set

Manufacturer’s special offer. From October 1 to October 31, 2024, purchase a Laguna 12|16 Revo midi lathe and receive a 10″ extension kit at no additional cost (a saving of $199). After this date, the set will no longer be available, but the components will be available individually.

The Revo 12|16 is a well-made mid-size lathe with a robust 1 hp motor controlled by PWM (pulse width modulation) technology. This advanced control system ensures consistent rpm and torque, even under heavy loads and low speeds, making it well suited for roughing or dense woodwork. Made from cast iron and steel, it weighs 118 lb, giving it the mass needed to dampen vibration yet still be easily moved around the workshop.

As supplied, the lathe provides a 12 1/2″ swing and a 15 1/2″ center-to-center capacity, providing ample space for a variety of turning projects.

The lathe offers three easily changed speed ranges: low (50 to 525 rpm), mid (325 to 1750 rpm) and high (650 to 3500 rpm). The cam mechanism allows one-handed, toolless drive-belt changes between pulleys to set the speed range. Once the range is selected, the precise speed can be dialed in using the knob on the control panel, with the speed displayed on the easy-to-read LCD screen. The control panel includes a forward/reverse toggle button to change the direction of spindle rotation.

Equipped with a graduated indexing head to lock the spindle for fluting, drilling or pattern work, the lathe uses a 1″ × 8 tpi spindle and a #2 MT headstock and tailstock, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of standard accessories. A spur center, a live center, a 3″ face plate, a face-plate wrench, a 6″ hardened steel tool rest with a 1″ diameter post, and a center knock-out rod are included. Manufacturer’s warranty is 2 years.

The 10″ extension mounts to the outboard side of the headstock to facilitate outboard turning with a maximum diameter of 16″. The set includes a 1″ × 8 tpi spindle adapter, a cast-iron banjo extension for the tool rest, and hardware.
