IT’S DOUBLE PLATINUM FOR LAGUNA TOOLS!

THE LAGUNA TOOLS PLATINUM SERIES from Laguna Tools in Irvine, California, might as well be in the record business as it continues to impress the woodworking industry with a double platinum line of quality journeyman level machines. Laguna Tools announces their latest Copy Lathes that feature a 59" distance between center and 18" diameter measurement (Model #A175016) and its junior (Model #A175015) that comes in a 51"
distance between center.

This wonderful spindle lathe will accurately turn any table or chair leg into a work of art. For you dads out there, it is perfect for making your kids a real birthday gift that they will treasure the rest of their lives a custom baseball bat! And, if you’re wanting to get to that remodel on your old staircase or adding on a new edition to the house, well, this machine provides the perfect choice to make custom staircase spindles that will enhance the beauty of any home.

SHHHHH!!! Don’t let the neighbor’s find out! – If your neighbors ever found out you had this machine, they would be knocking on your door! But now, you can work all day and all night without anyone knowing you even have it because it is so quiet! (Make sure you hide it by covering it up when not using it!).

Much like its Platinum Series Table saws, these Copy Lathes boast a solid, twist-free, steel and cast-iron construction that serves as a hefty foundation for maximum vibration dampening while turning any type of application. These user-friendly machines also boast a one-hand operation with an eccentric clamp system, which is the perfect system for owner operators or anyone who wants to do prototype work for larger applications.

Well known in its class for strength and durability is a steel Drive Spindle with #2 MT Headstock and Tailstock , all of which is powered by a 2.0 hp motor and 45 speed pulley system.. It also comes with a 9" Swing Over Bed. This copier rides on a precision ground solid-steel rail for minimum vibration and provides a smooth and diametric cut on even the hardest of woods.

COMPACT, ECONOMIC, QUIET – You will truly enjoy the space saving design these lathes have with their compact dimensions. The economic price for these lathes makes them affordable for everyone at about 1/3 the cost of competing brands. And, as we’ve already mentioned, they are extremely quiet, making your woodworking experience very therapeutic.

Other standard features these machines have to offer are their long tool rest with a quick-clamp system and stepless height adjustment. Another handy characteristic is the built-in tool holder that is designed for organizing loose tools, keeping them out of the way from the operating area. A three-wheel steady rest also comes standard on every machine as well as an Integral Copier with an under-mount template built into its design.

SAFETY – The Laguna Platinum Series also comes with a standard micro switch on the door that disables the machine if the door is left open.
