Laguna's REVO 12|16 Midi Lathe bristles with premium features in a space-saving package. A turn of its whisper-quiet speed dial achieves speed adjustments with ease. To shift between the coarse speed ranges, simply open the magnetic belt cover doors, flip the smooth cam-action lever and slide the belt to another set of pulleys. The luxury banjo glides easily up and down the bed and features a nice 45° chamfered edge. Pulse Width Modulation on the powerful 1HP motor ensures consistent torque at any speed, cooler running, longer brush life and 99% efficiency at low speeds. The REVO 12|16 is an ideal fit for a wide variety of spindle turnings up to 15-1/2'' long, and bowl turnings up to 12-1/2'' in diameter (16'' in the outboard mode with the optional Outboard Table, #64320, sold separately).
