The Laguna Revo 10│14 Woodturning Lathe is packed with the high performance features you expect from Laguna, housed within a more compact machine. With its smaller footprint, this benchtop lathe is designed for woodturning in tight spaces without compromising on quality. The Revo 10│14 blends innovation, control and classic craftsmanship, and is the perfect smaller machine for seasoned woodturners, enthusiastic prosumers and passionate hobbyists alike.
Whilst this is a compact wood lathe, it is certainly not light duty. Constructed with stability in mind, the lathe bed, tailstock, headstock and banjo are all heavy duty cast iron, reducing vibration and enhancing precision. The included premium tool rest has a 6mm hardened steel leading edge, so woodturning tools glide smoothly across, and tool catches are unlikely to make a dent. With a 1” diameter, the tool rest can easily be swapped for alternative rests or accessories if preferred. The banjo features an internal clamp which locks the tool rest in place and protects it, instead of a screw thread which could damage and burr the tool. There is a heavy duty 4 ½” handwheel to rotate the spindle, and a convenient push button spindle lock for installing chucks or faceplates. The solid steel tailstock has a generous 3 ½” of spindle travel and comes equipped with a quality live centre with self-ejecting quill and no thread backlash. A storage rack on the tailstock allows you to easily store the live centre and other accessories when not in use. Another handy storage spot is on the back of the headstock, where the provided knock out bar, wrench and hex key are tucked away.
The smallest in the Revo range, it boasts a powerful 750 W motor and variable speed, ideal for a versatile range of projects. Changing the lathe speed is a 2-step process: firstly, choose your speed range from Low (250-850 RPM), Mid (430-1450 RPM) or High (950-3200 RPM) and set the pulley system accordingly via the convenient headstock access; secondly, adjust and finetune your speed while turning using the speed dial. Changing the pulley is a smooth and easy process thanks to the cam action lever motor lift, which negates the need to manually lift the motor, which can be cumbersome. The spindle features spring-loaded, easy to read, positive 24 pin in-head indexing, which is ideal for decorative work.
The Revo 10│14 has some considered features making this lathe a delight to use. The projected nose cone allows for close access in and around the workpiece. The ergonomically designed control panel sits on top of the headstock, tilted for easy viewing. On here, there is an illuminated on/off switch, the speed dial, a digital speed readout and a reverse button. It is possible to change the lathe to reverse direction when the lathe is running or off; for the duration of the lathe running in reverse, the DRO will flash the speed as an indication of the direction.
Supplied with a 3” faceplate and centres.
