Sherline Manual 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with Zero Adjustable Handwheels (Metric)
Features zero adjustable handwheels for precision
Operates with electronic speed control from 70-2800 RPM
Handles parts up to 6 inches with optional riser block
Constructed in the USA for durability
Machines wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel
The Sherline Manual 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with Zero Adjustable Handwheels (Metric) is an advanced version of the standard Model 4000-series lathe, featuring two zero adjustable handwheels on the crosslide and leadscrew. These handwheels allow users to reset to a zero reading at any time, facilitating precise adjustments and reducing the likelihood of mathematical errors. This feature, typically found on larger, more expensive machines, enhances the precision capabilities of this compact lathe.
This tabletop lathe is capable of turning parts up to 3.5 inches in diameter over the bed and up to 1.88 inches over the carriage without the use of riser blocks. With an optional riser block, it can handle parts up to 6 inches in diameter. The lathe provides 8 inches of space between centers, making it suitable for crafting small, precision components. Its electronic speed control offers a continuously variable speed range from 70 to 2,800 RPM, eliminating the need for belt changes and providing flexibility for various machining tasks. An additional pulley position is available for increased torque at lower RPMs.
Constructed in the USA, this lathe is designed for those requiring a mini lathe that can produce high-quality precision parts. Despite its compact size, it is robust and accurate enough to machine materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. The lathe's desktop size does not compromise its precision, offering the accuracy of a full-size machine.
Note: Ensure proper safety measures are followed when operating the lathe to prevent injury.
