The retained reference is $1,099 current direct U.S. price. The stand, mobility kit, bed extension, outboard support, chuck and lights are separate unless explicitly bundled. Confirm workholding, circuit, floor or bench, unloading, safe blank range, PPE, maintenance and parts before payment.
Current market
Each line carries its own check date because price, software, specifications, and product cycle do not age at the same speed.
The stand, mobility kit, bed extension, outboard support, chuck and lights are separate unless explicitly bundled. Confirm stock, freight, liftgate, tax, promotion, return and authorized U.S. support at checkout.
Revo 12|16 is the compact premium-midi pick when low 50 RPM control and documented outboard access matter more than stock between-centers length or the broadest service footprint.

What changed
Older observations stay in the ledger when the current view changes. That lets a buyer tell the difference between an old complaint, an active issue, and a problem that was corrected.
Revo 12|16 Lathe was checked against manufacturer identity, manual, parts or support, exact current U.S. price, independent woodworking evidence and bounded owner evidence.
Each amount stays tied to its source and capture date. Conflicting prices remain visible until the seller resolves them.

Owner experience
Owner evidence is retained as a delivery, setup, control, workholding, maintenance and service checklist for Revo 12|16 Lathe, not a performance, capacity, defect or safety rate.
Reports are self-selected and span different serials, voltages, stands, benches, chucks, blanks, speeds, accessories, circuits, dust conditions, service regions, skill and maintenance. They cannot prove population reliability, runout, finish, safe capacity, code compliance, service rate or injury prevention.Self-selected exact-model owners discuss delivery, setup, alignment, controls, vibration, accessories, maintenance, failures and service. Reports are configuration-specific anecdotes, not performance, defect, capacity or safety rates.
Inspect mechanical finish and every control during the return window, then record the belt range and support case details

Laguna Tools identifies MLAREVO1216EVS as a 118-pound 1 HP PWM midi with three ranges, reverse, 12-inch inboard swing and supported left-spindle outboard work.
Laguna lists MLAREVO1216EVS at $1,099. The stand, mobility kit, bed extension, outboard support, chuck and lights are separate unless explicitly bundled
About 12-1/2-inch swing over bed and 15-1/2 to 16 inches between centers depending on the exact Laguna table; retain the manual measurement and optional-extension geometry before planning a spindle. 1 HP 110 V permanent-magnet DC motor with PWM and three belt ranges spanning 50 to 3,500 RPM plus reverse. The correct range remains necessary for torque and cooling. 1-inch by 8 TPI spindle at both ends, MT2 tailstock, 2-1/2-inch quill travel and 1-inch rest post. Outboard threading and accessory retention must follow the manual.
Laguna publishes the current manual, model-specific parts catalog, direct service phone and warranty route. Some parts show stock variability, so price electronics, switches and tailstock service before permanent installation. Faceplate, drive and live centers, rest, knockout and setup tools are included. Stand, wheels, chuck, extension, outboard support, turning tools, extraction and PPE are separate.
AAW recommends a full face shield, conservative startup speed, slower speeds for larger or rough work, locked tailstock and tool-rest assemblies and no gloves, loose clothing, jewelry or untied hair.
OSHA identifies rotating parts, point-of-operation contact, flying chips and thrown work, and addresses close tool-rest placement, guards and entanglement controls. Application to a shop depends on workplace and operation.
OSHA notes high-velocity wood-dust emission and recommends close source capture. A lathe package does not establish exposure control or compliance.
Independent woodworking coverage examines the exact Revo 12|16's compact geometry and turning workflow; the tested example does not establish every machine's alignment or durability.
Self-selected exact-model owners discuss delivery, setup, alignment, controls, vibration, accessories, maintenance, failures and service. Reports are configuration-specific anecdotes, not performance, defect, capacity or safety rates.
JWL-1221VS 12-Inch by 21-Inch Variable-Speed Lathe is the heavy premium conventional midi alternative at $989.99 current authorized U.S. price.
Coronet Herald 14-Inch Swivel-Head Lathe is the compact swivel-head bowl and spindle lathe alternative at $1,199.99 current authorized U.S. price.
Manufacturer identity, exact current U.S. price, manual or specification, parts or support path, independent woodworking evidence and bounded owner or turner evidence were checked on August 20, 2026. This market covers complete current U.S.-supported benchtop, midi and full-size woodturning lathes for serious hobby and professional shops. It excludes metal lathes, duplicators and copy lathes, accessories, extensions and stands sold alone, unsupported imports, obsolete machines, cosmetic packages, chuck bundles and minor swing, bed or voltage siblings used only to pad the count. Preserve swing over bed and banjo, actual between-centers geometry, headstock and bed position, motor input and claimed output, voltage, phase, circuit and plug, belt ranges and electronic control, lowest usable speed, forward and reverse conditions, spindle thread and shoulder, taper, bore, indexing, quill and travel, fixed, sliding, swiveling and outboard paths, extension and rest support, weight, stand, floor, mobility and lifting, tool rest, banjo and tailstock behavior, included faceplate and centers versus required chuck, jaws, tools and sharpening, center alignment, runout, bed twist, setup and break-in, dust, chips, noise, electrical cooling, parts, warranty and service. A headline swing or horsepower figure does not approve a blank. Safe RPM depends on diameter, balance, soundness, mounting, drive and operator skill. Inspect stock and glue joints, rotate by hand, start at the lowest stable speed while standing out of the rotation plane, keep a locked rest close to the work and stop for vibration. Use impact-rated eye protection plus a full face shield, tie hair, remove loose clothing and jewelry and never wear gloves near rotating work. Guards, extraction, respiratory protection, hearing protection, electrical work, permits, workplace rules, fire control, rigging and training remain site-specific. Reverse can loosen threaded workholding unless positively secured as documented. Dust collection does not capture every chip or respirable particle. No manufacturer claim, capacity, price, review, owner report, drive feature, brake, jam sensor, guard, mounting system or service plan guarantees surface finish, runout, production capacity, uptime, code or workplace compliance, dust or noise control, workpiece retention, injury prevention or any safety outcome.
