Includes essential setup components
The Sherline 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe Package A CNC Ready (Inch) (EU) is an exemplary choice for those seeking a compact yet precise CNC-ready lathe for crafting small components. Manufactured in the USA, this lathe is designed to deliver high-quality precision work, capable of cutting materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its desktop size, it offers the precision and accuracy typically associated with full-sized machines. The lathe is 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. However, it is important to note that the machine is not operational until these stepper motors are installed, as they are not included in the package.
The lathe features a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring a variable spindle speed range from 70 to 2800 RPM. The machine's construction includes a 15-inch steel bed, allowing for an 8-inch distance between centers, and a crosslide measuring 2.75 inches by 6 inches. The package also includes three standard laser-engraved aluminum handwheels, which can be utilized for manual control once dual-shaft stepper motors are installed. Additionally, the lathe comes with a 2.5-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck and a 1/4-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, along with Morse arbors and a drawbolt.
This lathe is ideal for users who wish to customize their CNC setup, as it allows for the addition of aftermarket motors, drivers, and software. It requires a computer with at least a 486 processor to complete the CNC system. The package provides essential components such as pulleys, a drive belt, a faceplate, a lathe dog, two dead centers, hexagonal keys, a tool post, a sharpened high-speed steel cutting tool, and an instruction manual, ensuring users have the necessary tools to begin their projects.
Note: CNC-ready machines cannot be operated manually unless double-shaft stepper motors are installed.
