The Sherline 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe with DRO Package A (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 easy resetting of the readout to zero, and it continuously displays spindle RPM when the motor is operational.

This lathe is particularly suitable for those requiring a compact yet highly precise machine capable of working with various materials, including 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 process of tracking distance and direction, reducing the likelihood of errors and making machining more enjoyable.

The lathe is powered by a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring smooth and variable speed operation. It features a 24-inch steel bed with a 17-inch distance between centers, providing ample space for a variety of projects. The package includes a 3.1-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck and a 3/8-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, among other essential components. The machine is designed for ease of use, with no need for additional hole drilling during setup.

The DRO Package A includes all necessary mounting hardware and accessories, such as a digital readout box with an LCD display, RPM sensor, power supply, and cables. Special DRO handwheels are installed on the leadscrew and crosslide feed screw, allowing for precise adjustments. The lathe also comes with a rocker tool post, pulleys, drive belt, faceplate, lathe dog, two dead centers, three hexagonal keys, a tool post, a sharpened high-speed steel cutting tool, and an instruction manual.

Note: Ensure proper safety measures are followed when operating the lathe to prevent accidents or injuries.
