The Sherline 3-Axis Lathe DRO w/ CNC Thrust Collars (Metric) is an advanced digital readout system designed to enhance the functionality of a lathe equipped with a vertical milling column, effectively transforming it into a 3-axis machine similar to a mill. This system includes CNC thrust collars, which facilitate the integration of stepper motors, thereby enabling precise control over the lathe's movements. The digital readout system operates by electronically translating handwheel rotations into table movements, rather than measuring the table movement directly. This feature is particularly beneficial for CNC users who wish to verify the accuracy of the leadscrew movement against the CNC input, ensuring that the axis has moved the intended distance as dictated by the stepper motor input.
An innovative aspect of this system is its cost-effective design, which allows owners of both a lathe and a mill to utilize a single electronic display box for both machines. This is achieved by simply unplugging the input cables from one machine and transferring the readout box to the other, thus eliminating the need for multiple display units. The system is compatible with both inch and metric machines and offers six different operational modes to accommodate various machine types, including mills, lathes, leadscrews, and ball screws.
The power supply of the digital readout system is versatile, automatically switching between 120V and 240V, making it adaptable to different power sources. However, it is important to note that the system is designed for manual use and is not suitable for CNC machines operating at speeds exceeding 15 inches per minute (381 millimeters per minute). The installation process requires the removal of handwheels to accommodate the CNC stepper motor mounts, which is a necessary step to fully integrate the system with the lathe.
Note: Exercise caution when removing handwheels to avoid damage to the machine or injury.

Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
- A valid Return Authorisation (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
- The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
- The RA number must be included with the return.
- Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
- Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
- Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
- A £100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
- A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
- Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
- Consumables * — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tyres, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
- Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
- Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odour-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
- Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly * — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
- Digital Goods, Software, and Apps * — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
- Clearance Items * — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
- Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
- On-Demand Items * — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfil a customer request.

* United-Kingdom consumers retain their statutory Right of Cancellation on these items. Its exercise is subject to the conditions and exclusions set out in the Statutory Right of Cancellation, and any reimbursement may be reduced to reflect a loss in value resulting from handling beyond inspection.
How to Request a Return Authorisation (RA)
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
- RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
- Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
