The Laguna Revo 12/16 is a benchtop woodturning lathe with a 12-inch swing over the bed and 16 inches between centers. It runs on 230V power and uses electronic variable speed with a digital readout, plus a sliding headstock and swiveling head for outboard turning. It suits hobby turners and small shops that want more capacity than a mini lathe without a full-size floor model. Against midi lathes from Jet and Rikon it offers a wider speed range and more headstock flexibility, though it is heavier and needs a 230V circuit.

Owners of the Revo 12/16 generally praise its smooth electronic speed control, stable cast iron bed and the flexibility of the sliding, swiveling headstock. Common complaints center on the 230V requirement, its weight on a bench, and the learning curve of the digital control panel.
The Laguna Revo 12|16 is a woodturning lathe with a cast-iron bed, headstock, tailstock and banjo. The cast iron adds stability and reduces vibration. The projected nose cone gives better access to the workpiece and wider bearing spacing, which helps keep delicate work stable.
A pulse width modulation (PWM) system monitors the motor and adjusts it to hold a constant speed. It keeps torque available at speeds as low as 50 rpm. A digital readout shows the speed, and a rubber-augmented knurled aluminum dial controls variable speed. The controls sit on an anodized aluminum plate. The lathe runs in forward and reverse.
A 1-step soft-grip cam handle makes belt changes quick. The tailstock ejects itself and has a long quill travel. The spindle has 24-position indexing and a spring-loaded spindle lock. The tool rest has a hardened steel leading edge. An ASR locking ring, which locks the chuck and spindle together, can be added as an accessory.
