The Sherline 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe with DRO (Inch) is a precision-engineered machine designed for crafting small, intricate parts with high accuracy. This benchtop lathe is equipped with a digital readout (DRO) system that includes a digital readout box and specialized handwheels with built-in electronic encoders. These components work together to provide precise measurements of table travel across three axes, enhancing the user's ability to maintain accuracy during machining tasks. The DRO system allows for the resetting of any axis to zero with a simple button press, and it continuously displays spindle RPM when the motor is operational. This feature is adaptable for both inch and metric measurements, ensuring versatility in various machining environments.

Constructed in the USA, the lathe is ideal for users seeking a compact yet powerful machine capable of producing high-quality precision parts. Despite its desktop size, it offers the precision and accuracy typically associated with full-size machines. The lathe is robust enough to handle materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, making it a versatile tool for a range of applications.

The DRO system enhances the machining experience by simplifying the tracking of distance and direction, thereby reducing the potential for errors associated with manual handwheel revolutions. Additionally, the system can electronically eliminate backlash by compensating for it in the readout, further improving precision.

The lathe's power supply is designed to automatically switch between 120V and 240V, accommodating different electrical standards worldwide. This feature ensures that the machine can be used internationally, although a wall socket adapter may be necessary outside North America.

Note: Ensure proper handling and operation of the lathe to prevent injury or damage.
