Laguna REVO Lathes

Revo 18|36 Lathe

Laguna has exceeded expectations with its REVO line of lathes. The first feature that will catch your eye is the ergonomically angled control panel made of anodized aluminum. The blue hue of the DRO along with the nice knurled control knob fitted with a rubber grip signals that this is no ordinary lathe.

The bed is made from steel which allows the cast iron headstock to travel incredibly smoothly. Steel is the preferred material due to its well-known longevity and strength. Electronic variable speed is obtained via a VFD that converts 1 phase to 3 phase output so even at lower settings you will get an incredible amount of torque.

Changing from high to low setting is made easy on this lathe by using the quick release handle. The headstock and tailstock lock handles are situated on the back to eliminate any interruptions to your workflow. Ergonomically designed handles use a cam lock resulting in a firm feel with no deflection.

SuperMax Drum Sander

Laguna - SuperMax 25×2 Dual Drum Sander 5HP (WM13002) | Tools4Wood

The NEW SuperMax 16-32 Drum Sander comes standard with features not found on any other drum sander on the market: A Patented “Quick Adjust Lever” allows height adjustments from 0” to 3” with just one pull of a lever versus 48 revolutions of a hand wheel greatly reducing set-up time and increases productivity. A built-in Digital Read Out (DRO) helps maintain consistent thicknesses to increase accuracy and quality. A newly designed Turbo Vented Dust Port increases CFM air flow to dust collectors by 15%. Additionally, this new 16-32 drum sander includes the same excellent features found on the larger open-ended drum sanders from SuperMax Tools.

A simple alignment feature: just one nut will adjust the conveyor to parallel the sanding head making aligning the conveyor to the sanding head quickly and easily as well as indexed alignment settings. An indexed alignment setting for narrow and wide stock: when sanding stock wider than 16”, the index lever will properly adjust the conveyor for flawless wide sanding. Easy height adjustments: a thrust bearing below the handle and a nut positioned above prevents the drum from moving out of the set position while sanding and there’s no backlash or slop in the height adjustment mechanism allowing for easier and smoother height adjustments.

INTELLISAND Technology: This automatically adjusts conveyor speed based on load and prevents gouging, damaging, or burning stock. INTELLISAND also provides a consistent finish even with varying grain patterns and densities. Flatness Guarantee: the precision-flattened steel conveyor bed is reinforced with four steel cross sections for no “flex”; guaranteeing flatness to less than .010” across the width of the sander. 

Patented Abrasive Attachment System: effectively tensions the abrasive wraps preventing abrasive end overlap. Adjustable tension rollers: adjustable in height and hold down pressure eliminating snipe.
