John is right. The laguna is the best-kept secret in lathes. Mine performs flawlessly and is solid as a rock. I roughed a 16 inch burl and the lathe acted like it was a pen blank.

This beast has been assembled it is right at 79" tall. I have wanted a real dust collector for a long time. Here are some pics. I fired it up with all but one port closed and I think it started...
THe laguna is the bees knees. It was on sale for 2249
The video made it seem like maybe an hour tops. Now I just have to get home from work travel so I can finish it

I have asked to have this post moved to the workshops forum. I apologize for posting in the wrong place.
I will look over your posts tonight Larry. Thank you.
Finished up all of the ductwork except for the connection to the collector that is supposed to arrive tomorrow. The manual says that assembly takes 5 to 6 hours. I hope it doesn't take that long....

That is plum sexy. Congratulations.
It's good to see that I am not the only one.
I am having a hard time waiting for the collector to get here.

I will do that. Amazon will take it back if it isn't right. Thanks for the heads up.
I thought the same thing when I saw it. It is a neat idea but I thought that there was too many things that could go bad and need repairs. I ended up ordering the Monster hollowing system with the...
I liked the Revo 18-36 lathe so much that I took advantage of the Woodcraft sale to purchase the 3HP Laguna Cflux dust collector with the last of my income tax return. It is supposed to arrive on...
Funny that you should ask. I saw this when looking at hollowing systems yesterday. I don't know anything about the product but I saw it and thought I would share it with you.

Thanks for the post
Thanks for the tip Scott. I will give that a try. I need to do some cleanup on the base.
Can you post some pictures?
The riser blocks are available for the 1836 I saw them at the local Klingspors.
I am considering the monster hollowing system. Is there a problem with the included cutters?
