I own the 1216 lathe. This is an outstanding machine. I still need to express grave concerns with the fact that Laguna Tools broke all international norms on the colors of their switches. Like many of Laguna machines the 1216 lathe on/off switch is White/Black. Then the spindle lock button is RED. I have never seen a modern machine where the ON/OFF switch was not Green/Red. Then to make the spindle lock button RED only compounds the problem. Laguna Tools did supply me with a replacement switch that is Green/Red. For that I am grateful. I have placed a BLUE button over the RED spindle lock button. HEY LAGUNA! Do you read these ratings? What could possibly be your reasoning?
