Laguna Tools Revo 12|16 Lathe (EVS)

Model: MLAREVO1216EVS

Compact Size. Professional Power.

The Laguna Revo 12|16 is the definitive midi-lathe, bringing Laguna’s prestige engineering into a smaller footprint without compromising on performance. Powered by a 1HP DC motor with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control, this lathe delivers consistent torque across the full speed range—a major advantage over typical DC-driven lathes.

With its luxury banjo featuring a 45º chamfered edge, quick cam-action belt change (with magnetic door housing), and the ability to outboard turn bowls up to 16”, this machine is a serious upgrade for woodworkers looking for power in a compact package.

Smooth Performance

PWM control ensures tremendous torque at low speeds—perfect for both roughing and precision detail work.

Consistent Torque

Unlike standard DC controllers that lose torque when reducing speed, the Revo 12|16 delivers full power from 50 RPM up to 3500 RPM.

Quick Adjustments

A one-step cam-action belt system makes speed changes fast and effortless.

Precision Engineering

Built with high-quality bearings and components, this midi-lathe offers smooth performance and long-term durability.
