Sherline 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with DRO (Metric) (EU)
Engineers precision-crafted parts
Features DRO system for accuracy
Cuts wood, plastic, aluminum & steel
Offers smooth variable spindle speeds
Includes essential tool components
The Sherline 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with DRO (Metric) (EU) is a precision-engineered machine designed for crafting small, intricate parts with high accuracy. This lathe is equipped with a digital readout (DRO) system that includes a digital readout box and specialized handwheels with built-in electronic encoders. These components work together to provide precise measurements of table travel across three axes, enhancing the user's ability to produce detailed work. The DRO system allows for the resetting of any axis to zero with a simple button press, and it continuously displays spindle RPM when the motor is operational. This feature is adaptable for both inch and metric measurements, making it versatile for various machining needs.
Constructed in the USA, the lathe is renowned for its ability to produce high-quality precision parts despite its compact size. It is capable of cutting a range of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, offering the precision of a full-sized machine in a desktop format. The DRO system simplifies the machining process by electronically eliminating backlash, thus reducing errors and enhancing the overall machining experience.
The lathe is powered by a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring smooth and variable spindle speeds. The power supply is designed to automatically switch between 120V and 240V, accommodating different electrical standards, although a wall socket adapter may be necessary outside North America. The machine's design includes a 15-inch steel bed, allowing for an 8-inch distance between centers, and features a crosslide for versatile operations.
Special handwheels are a notable feature of this lathe, allowing for electronic zero resetting via the DRO display box. These handwheels are laser-engraved and made from aluminum, ensuring durability and precision. The lathe is also equipped with essential components such as pulleys, a drive belt, a faceplate, a lathe dog, dead centers, hexagonal keys, a tool post, and a sharpened high-speed steel cutting tool, all of which contribute to its functionality and ease of use.
Note: Ensure proper electrical compatibility and use appropriate adapters when operating the lathe outside North America.

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.
