Source: lagunatools.com (verified 2026-08-01). Laguna's own Revo 12|16 product page publishes the full "Additional Details" spec block: a 1 HP DC motor controlled by pulse-width modulation across three ranges (50-525 low / 325-1,750 mid / 650-3,500 high RPM), 12-1/2" swing over bed (9-1/2" over the banjo, 16" max outboard swing), 15-1/2" distance between centers, a 1" x 8 TPI spindle thread at both ends, MT#2 tailstock quill, and 118 lb net weight (125 lb shipping). The current on-page price is $1,099; SKU MLAREVO1216EVS. No bed-material claim (cast iron vs. steel) is made anywhere on this specific product page, unlike Laguna's larger Revo 18|36 which explicitly documents an ASTM A36 steel bed, so bed_material is left null here rather than assumed to match the sibling model.
