The Sherline Manual 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe Package C (Inch) is a versatile and precise machine designed for machinists who require additional space and precision in their work. This benchtop lathe offers a significant 17-inch distance between centers, providing ample room for working with parts held in a chuck alongside a larger tailstock chuck and long drill bits. This extra capacity is particularly beneficial when the combination of chucks, parts, and drills consumes much of the available space.

This model distinguishes itself from the smaller 8-inch tabletop lathe by offering an additional 9 inches of center distance, zero adjustable handwheels, and a rocker toolpost. These features enhance its value and functionality, making it a worthwhile investment for those seeking precision and versatility. The lathe can turn parts up to 3.5 inches in diameter over the bed or 1.88 inches over the carriage without riser blocks. With an optional riser block, it can accommodate parts up to 6 inches in diameter over the bed.

Equipped with an electronic speed control, the lathe allows for continuously variable speed adjustments ranging from 70 to 2,800 RPM without the need for belt changes. A secondary pulley position is available to provide extra torque at lower RPMs if required. This benchtop lathe is ideal for crafting small, precision parts and is capable of cutting materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel with high accuracy.

The lathe is powered by a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring reliable performance. It features a 24-inch steel bed with a 17-inch center-to-center distance, and resettable, zero adjustable handwheels on the leadscrew, crosslide feed screw, and tailstock. The package includes a 3.1-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck, a 3/8-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, steady rest, live center, compound slide, rear mount cutoff tool and holder, and a set of high-speed steel cutting tools, among other accessories.

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