Prepares for 23-frame stepper motors and CNC integration
The Sherline 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe CNC Ready (Metric) (EU) is an ideal choice for those seeking a compact yet precise CNC lathe for crafting small components. This benchtop lathe is engineered to deliver the precision and accuracy of a full-sized machine while maintaining a desktop-friendly size. It is capable of cutting a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, making it versatile for different applications.
This CNC-ready lathe comes equipped with factory-installed stepper motor mounts, replacing traditional handwheels, and is prepared for the integration of 23-frame size stepper motors and computer numeric controls. It is important to note that the machine is not operational until these stepper motors are installed, as it does not include the motors, computer, or CNC software. For those who prefer manual control, dual-shaft stepper motors are recommended, allowing handwheels to be attached to the rear shaft.
The lathe features a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, a crosslide, and a steel bed with a significant distance between centers. It also includes resettable, zero adjustable handwheels with laser-engraved aluminum collars for precise adjustments. Additionally, the lathe is equipped with a rocker tool post, pulleys, a drive belt, a faceplate, a lathe dog, dead centers, hexagonal keys, a tool post, a sharpened high-speed steel cutting tool, and an instruction manual.
For those working with materials like brass or wood, it is advisable to use a toggle switch dust cover to extend the lifespan of the motor and speed control. Note: CNC-ready machines cannot be operated manually unless double-shaft stepper motors are installed.
