Sherline 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with DRO Package A (Metric)
Offers high precision with DRO system
Crafts intricate parts in various materials
Runs on 90V DC motor with variable speed
Compact yet precise like full-size lathes
Includes essential chucks for versatility
The Sherline 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with DRO Package A (Metric) is a precision-engineered machine designed for crafting small, intricate parts with high accuracy. This compact lathe is equipped with a digital readout (DRO) system that enhances the precision of machining tasks by displaying the position of each axis relative to a user-defined zero point. The DRO system includes special handwheels with built-in electronic encoders, which are connected to an electronic readout box. This setup allows for real-time monitoring of table travel across three axes and spindle RPM, ensuring meticulous control over machining operations.
This tabletop lathe is adept at handling a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, making it versatile for different machining needs. Despite its desktop size, it offers the precision and accuracy typically associated with full-size machines. The DRO system facilitates the elimination of backlash by electronically adjusting the readout, thereby enhancing the accuracy of directional changes during machining.
The lathe is powered by a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, providing a variable spindle speed range from 70 to 2800 RPM. The machine's construction includes a 15-inch steel bed, allowing for an 8-inch distance between centers, and a crosslide with a travel of 4.25 inches. The DRO Package A includes a 2.5-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck and a 1/4-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, among other essential components, ensuring that users have the necessary tools for a wide range of machining tasks.
Note: Ensure proper safety measures are followed when operating the lathe to prevent accidents or injuries.
