The Sherline 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe with DRO Package C (Metric) 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 electronic encoders. These encoders translate handwheel movements into precise measurements of table travel across three axes, which are displayed on the DRO box. The 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. The DRO system is adaptable for both inch and metric measurements, enhancing its versatility.

This lathe is particularly suitable for users who require a compact yet highly precise machine capable of producing quality parts from materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its desktop size, it offers the precision and accuracy typically associated with larger machines. The DRO system simplifies the machining process by eliminating the need to manually track handwheel revolutions, thereby reducing errors and enhancing the overall machining experience.

The lathe operates on a 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, providing a spindle speed range from 70 to 2800 RPM. It is designed to accommodate electrical currents from 100 to 240 volts, making it suitable for use in various countries, although a wall socket adapter may be necessary outside North America.

The C Package of this lathe includes a comprehensive set of accessories, such as a 3.1-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck, a tailstock drill chuck with key, Morse arbors, a steady rest, a live center, a compound slide, and a rear mount cutoff tool and holder. Additionally, it comes with a set of high-speed steel cutting tools, a center drill set, and a detailed accessories guide book. The lathe is also equipped with a rocker tool post, pulleys, a drive belt, a faceplate, a lathe dog, dead centers, hexagonal keys, and a sharpened high-speed steel cutting tool.

Note: Ensure proper electrical compatibility and use appropriate adapters when operating the lathe in regions with different voltage standards.
