Laguna Revo 12/16 Midi-Lathe

Opening the box I couldn’t help but be impressed. Bold in black, weighing in at 54kg and with a wide bed and solid construction – it certainly looked promising.

The lathe arrived with a dedicated stand, not your currently accepted flat-pack pressed metal version, but with a solid 3mm thick hammer finished steel. Most often stands are generic one size fits all but this one is part of the overall lathe, and it’s quick and simple to assemble.
