The Sherline 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with DRO Package B (Inch) is a precision-engineered machine designed for crafting small, intricate parts with high accuracy. This 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, making it versatile for various machining needs.

This tabletop lathe is particularly suitable for those requiring a compact yet highly precise machine capable of handling materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its desktop size, it offers the precision and accuracy typically associated with full-sized machines. The DRO system simplifies the process of tracking distance and direction, reducing the potential for errors and enhancing the overall machining experience.

The lathe is powered by a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring consistent performance. It features a steel bed that allows for an 8-inch distance between centers, providing ample space for various projects. The DRO Package B includes a range of accessories such as a 2.5-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck, a tailstock drill chuck with key, a steady rest, a live center, 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 comprehensive guidebook for accessories.

The machine's power supply is adaptable to different electrical currents, automatically switching between 120V and 240V, which is convenient for international use. The lathe's design incorporates special DRO handwheels that can be electronically reset, enhancing precision and ease of use. This feature, combined with the machine's ability to electronically eliminate backlash, ensures that users can achieve the highest level of accuracy in their work.

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