The Sherline 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe Package A CNC Ready (Inch) is an exemplary machine designed for precision crafting of small parts. This lathe is particularly suitable for those requiring a compact yet highly accurate tool for cutting materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its desktop size, it offers the precision and accuracy typically associated with full-sized machinery. Manufactured in the USA, this lathe is equipped with factory-installed stepper motor mounts, making it ready for the addition of 23-frame size stepper motors and computer numeric controls. However, it is important to note that the stepper motors, computer, and CNC software are not included, and the machine cannot be operated until these components are installed. The lathe comes with handwheels for each axis, which can be used manually once dual-shaft stepper motors are installed. The package includes a 2.5-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck and a 1/4-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, along with Morse arbors and a drawbolt. The lathe is powered by a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring a variable spindle speed range. The machine's construction includes a 15-inch steel bed, allowing for an 8-inch distance between centers, and features a crosslide with a travel capacity of 4.25 inches. The lathe's design incorporates laser-engraved aluminum handwheels and collars, enhancing its precision capabilities. This lathe is an ideal choice for those seeking a reliable and precise tool for small-scale machining projects. Note: CNC-ready machines cannot be operated manually unless double-shaft stepper motors are installed.
