The retained reference is $3,649 current direct U.S. price. The 110 V sibling is materially lower power; extension, swing-away, wheels, risers, lights, vacuum kit and chuck are separate. 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.

Revo 18|36 220V is the balanced full-size choice when a sliding head, 2 HP VFD, center-height adjustments and dealer parts matter more than a swivel head, 24-inch native swing or premium domestic construction.

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 18|36 Lathe 220V 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 18|36 Lathe 220V, 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.

Laguna Tools identifies MLAREVO1836-220 as a 570-pound-shipping-class 18-by-36-inch steel-bed lathe with sliding headstock, 2 HP VFD drive, 50 RPM low range and extensive extension and mobility options.
Laguna lists MLAREVO1836-220 at $3,649. The 110 V sibling is materially lower power; extension, swing-away, wheels, risers, lights, vacuum kit and chuck are separate
18-inch swing and 36 inches between centers; the optional 20-inch extension can be mounted for longer spindles or up to a documented 32-inch outboard envelope with the required rest support. 2 HP 220 V single-phase input to three-phase VFD output with two ranges spanning 50 to 3,500 RPM and forward or reverse. The 6-15P supply and breaker remain exact installation requirements. 1-1/4-inch by 8 TPI spindle, MT2 tapers, 4-inch-class quill, 1-inch rest post, through bores and 14, 36 or 48 indexing positions per manual.
Laguna retains current manuals, parts catalogs, phone support and warranty routing, but electronic and freight service can be costly. Confirm local dealer and VFD availability before installation. Core faceplate, centers and rest follow the product inventory. Extension, swing-away, wheels, risers, lamps, vacuum equipment, chuck and extraction are optional.
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.
A professional turner tested the 18|36 on rough bowls and examined its sliding head, alignment adjustments, banjo and options. The review predates current pricing and cannot guarantee every unit.
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.

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.
