The Sherline Manual 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with Zero Adjustable Handwheels Package C (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 for precise resetting to a zero reading, facilitating easier dimension 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 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 parts. Its electronic speed control offers a continuously variable speed range from 70 to 2,800 RPM, eliminating the need for belt changes and providing additional torque at lower RPMs when necessary.

Constructed in the USA, this lathe is designed for precision and accuracy, capable of cutting materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its desktop size, it delivers the performance of a full-size machine. The C Package includes a 2.5-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck, a 1/4-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, steady rest, live center, compound slide, rear mount cutoff tool and holder, and a 1/4-inch high-speed steel 3-piece cutting tool set. Additional accessories include a Sherline 5/32-inch T-driver, a 3-piece center drill set, a Sherline Accessories Shop Guide Book, and a thread cutting attachment.

Note: Ensure proper safety measures are followed when operating the lathe to prevent injury.
