Without a doubt! If you want to turn in the reverse direction, get a chuck that is also capable of doing so.
There will be a savings of about 100 dollars
Laguna had sales on their machinery several times a year, which meant the mobile wheel would be $500 more expensive. It would be best to wait until the discounts are at least 10%. It has only been a matter of time before I've used the mobile base and have to say I'm very pleased. By providing foot pads, I really like the ease with which you can raise the lathe up with your foot pedal, move it to your desired location, then let it rest on the foot pads. When the wheel accessory is added, the base will grow by approximately 2' when the available space is A light was part of an accessory that I bought with the lathe, but have yet to utilize it.

The Delta power converter made a loud pop and smoke emerged from the lathe as soon as it was assembled and plugged in. I did not turn on the power. There is a place in California called Within a week, they sent me a new head stock. The shipping company, ABF freight, is not very good at communicating with Laguna. There's more to it than that, though. It came with a broken switch plate and wobble, so the new head stock needs more adjusting. I have to decide if I want to return the head stock or wait another week for another new one. During my visit to Laguna, the technician said that this was not the first complaint they've received. I find this very frustrating!.
In a nutshell, This set went together easily, I have turned 6 bowls and a couple of platters so far, the power and accuracy of this set is remarkable. The product was just what I was looking for. **Update**, 11/24/2020, I just wanted to add about this lathe, what an awesome piece of equipment, have had this lathe for a couple of years and have turned some burly, big chunks of wood, and it works without failure. It is hoped that my wife will deliver the caster kit to me for Christmas. I've turned a few bowls out of mesquite.
I received from Laguna and Amazon is exactly what I expected, but the delivery service (Pilot Freight),with whom either Amazon or Laguna contracts, is among the worst I have ever encountered.
Set up usual delivery on Wed 10/14, but product is not in Pilot terminal on Thu 10/08
Contact Pilot and ask for delivery on Fri 10/09
Fri 10/09 wait all day, but no product is delivered. You may call Pilot all day without answering, and you will be forced to leave a message to be contacted. No reply and no one answered the phone all weekend (advertise 24/7 customer service). So 2. I did not ask if I liked the change and just made it. It was necessary to rearrange my day in order to make sure I was home by dinnertime. It was scheduled to be delivered between 10 and 11 AM on Tuesday, October 13 We will call you 30 minutes in advance. The second time is We received it at 27 pm, almost half an hour after the delivery schedule was supposed to follow, and we were told it was to arrive The following was the time at Approximately 30 minutes after the package is delivered, the truck arrives.
It was a bit disappointing that the crate was upside down on the pallet during delivery. There is no way I could turn it over on my own. Even though there were no damages, it was much more difficult to get it out of the package. My grandson helped me put it together and it was easy to assemble once I got it out of the box. But you need to have a strong back to help you with this. So far, I have turned a number of things on and I haven't encountered With a weight of 18/36, the Laguna Revo 18/36 is a sturdy and powerful machine that operates at low noise levels. Using the banjo and tail stock is very simple, they are quite easy to maneuver and adjust, and lock down securely when you are ready to work with them. It looks like it will provide many years of pleasure turning for us. I am very impressed with the craftsmanship of the machine.
In the days since it arrived he has used it almost every day and is enjoying it immensely. I think the part that neither of us liked was trying to take it out of the box and get it Furthermore, it was in a plastic bag and sticking in Styrofoam and it weighs a ton the head stock and the tail stock on the front and back center bars were also in the box. The two of us forged ahead and assembled it together in one evening, just the two of us.
A portion of our shop's revenue comes from making custom bowls and cutting boards. While I was learning to turn bowls on my harbor freight lathe, it was great. At our local Farmers market, the people started asking for bigger bowls once we started selling them. As a result, we decided to go for the Revo 18/36 after doing our research. It was the best decision we could have I find it a thrill to turn the lathe on and cut a bowl that's 14 plus inches in diameter. In my shop, the assembly time was about 30 minutes once I got the hoist set up. For a 220 plug, it takes about 30 minutes to run. The 2500 plus tax was well worth it.
There is no better lathe on the market than this one, built by a person who knows what a great lathe should look like.
