The Sherline 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe Package A CNC Ready (Inch) (EU) is an exemplary tool for those seeking a compact yet highly precise CNC lathe for crafting small components. Manufactured in the USA, this lathe is designed to deliver exceptional precision and accuracy, making it suitable for cutting materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its desktop size, it offers the performance of a full-sized machine, making it an ideal choice for precision engineering tasks.
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 CNC-ready designation indicates that the machine requires the installation of stepper motors, as well as a computer and CNC software, to be operational. The inclusion of handwheels for each axis allows for manual control once dual-shaft stepper motors are installed.
The lathe features a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring smooth and variable speed operation. It boasts a 24-inch steel bed with a 17-inch distance between centers, providing ample space for various machining tasks. The lathe is also equipped with a rocker tool post, enhancing its versatility compared to standard tool posts. Additional components include a 3.1-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck and a 3/8-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, ensuring secure and precise workpiece handling.
This package is designed for those who wish to customize their CNC system, with options to source motors, drivers, and software from various suppliers. The lathe's design accommodates the addition of a computer with a 486 processor or better, allowing users to tailor their setup to specific requirements. The inclusion of a toggle switch dust cover is recommended for those working with materials like brass or wood, to extend the life of the motor and speed control.
Note: CNC-ready machines cannot be operated manually unless double-shaft stepper motors are installed.
