“I've had nothing but trouble out of this lathe. I have had it almost 2 weeks and haven't got to use it yet. I put it together on a Friday night and ran it just to make sure nothing was loose or misaligned. It was perfect. I turned the lathe off and unplugged it for the night. I went to the shop Saturday morning and plugged it in and it was totally dead. No lights motor was not working. I tried 3 other outlets on different circuits in my shop dead machine. I been doing the email and phone tag with Laguna. What a joke. They were supposed to send me replacement circuit boards. well after a week and a half 1 board showed up today. Back on the phone to Laguna again. The tech said you didn't get 2 boards I said no that's why I'm calling. So I have a 2300-dollar lathe that is useless in my shop. I wish now I hadn't sold my Jet lathe to get this piece of scrap metal.”

“I am very satisfied with laguna revo 1524 and bought for more power and adjustable height of stand. However, very dissatisfied with mfg not sending any instructions and none available on line for extension and mobility kit.in order to get mobility kit to lift lathe off floor, I had to take nuts off feet and give up any adjustments in the feet. Sliding transition of tailstock over extension was difficult to accomplish.”

“Iâ€™m new to wood turning and sought a quality lathe. After looking at the specs of several different systems I decided on the 15-24. So far Iâ€™m very pleased overall. The lathe runs both smooth and quiet. I expect it to be a long time before I reach the limits of this well built machi”

“I selected the new Laguna REVO 1524 for several reasons: its size, its 1.5 horse power (110V) motor, the ability to adjust the height, center-to-center adjustment, and reputation for quality. The lathe arrived and, using the excellent instructions, was assembled with no difficulties. Out of the box there were two problems detected: a clicking sound coming from the head stock, and a stripped screw head that made it impossible to use the precise position function to align the lathe. I called customer service and, after a nice chat, I sent a picture of the stripped screw and a video of the clicking sound. The customer service rep determined that it was the bearings causing the clicking sound. Laguna send me a replacement screw which allowed me to fix the center-to-center adjustment and replacement bearings. I then requested a tech call me to advise me over the phone on replacing the bearings. After a week or longer with no response, I emailed my contact and received via email a page of instructions for changing the belt and bearings. I found the instructions less than detailed and asked for some additional details. I received a link to a YouTube by Mike Waldt (2017) replacing the belt and bearings on an Axminster lathe. I watched the video, but again did not consider that information to be sufficient. I was originally told that a tech would talk to me about the replacement of the bearings, but later got an email which stated that no tech would be available to talk me through the installation of the bearings due to company policy. I have made several attempts to talk with a tech advisor, but the tech support phone line has a mail box that is full. I also tried by email and got a reply stating that they had done all they were required to do and indicated that my request for tech support over the phone was unreasonable. In summary, the REVO15224 is a solid lathe with good power and is a good size for a smaller shop. However, if you need tech support, I wish you better luck than I had.”
