The Sherline Manual 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe Package A (Metric) is a versatile and precise machine designed for machinists who require additional space between centers. This model offers 17 inches between centers, providing ample room for working with parts held in a chuck alongside a larger tailstock chuck and a long drill bit. This extra capacity is particularly beneficial when the combination of chucks, parts, and drills consumes much of the available space. The lathe is equipped with zero adjustable handwheels and a rocker toolpost, enhancing its value and functionality.
This benchtop lathe can turn parts up to 3.5 inches in diameter over the bed or up to 1.88 inches over the carriage without the use of riser blocks. With an optional riser block, it can accommodate parts up to 6 inches in diameter over the bed. The electronic speed control allows for continuously variable speed adjustments ranging from 70 to 2,800 RPM, eliminating the need for belt changes. Additionally, a secondary pulley position is available to provide extra torque at lower RPMs if required.
The lathe is ideal for producing small, precision parts and is capable of cutting materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its compact desktop size, it delivers the precision and accuracy expected from full-size machines. The lathe is powered by a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring consistent performance.
The Package A includes a 3.1-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck and a 3/8-inch tailstock drill chuck with a key, along with #0 and #1 Morse arbors with a drawbolt. These components enhance the lathe's versatility and ease of use, making it a valuable tool for any machinist's workshop.
