Innovation has been key to the progress of the Laguna brand and it is fully embraced here in the REVO 12/16 Midi Lathe. To overcome the issues of a traditional DC motor (Low torque at low speed and inability to achieve very low speeds) the controller uses the revolutionary Pulse Width Modulation system which feeds a succession of voltage pulses to the motor, monitoring the speed and automatically making adjustments to keep the speed constant. The result is a fantastic level of torque even at the incredibly low speed of 50rpm.
The controls are mounted in an anodized aluminium plate, the ergonomic design is well positioned with a clear digital speed read out and easy access to all controls. The variable speedĀ is smoothly controlled with a tactile rubber augmented knurled aluminium dial – A joy to use.
Supplied with 2MT four prong drive centre, 2MT revolving tail centre, 75mm (3″) diameter faceplate, 1.8m power cable with UK 3 pin plug.
