The Sherline 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with Zero Adjustable Handwheels Without Headstock or Speed Controller (Metric) is an advanced version of the standard Model 4000-series lathe, featuring zero adjustable handwheels on the crosslide and leadscrew. These handwheels allow users to reset to a zero reading at any time, facilitating precise adjustments and reducing the likelihood of mathematical errors. This feature, typically found on larger, more expensive machines, enhances the precision of this compact lathe.

This tabletop lathe is capable of turning parts up to 3.5 inches in diameter over the bed and up to 1.88 inches over the carriage without the use of riser blocks. With an optional riser block, it can handle parts up to 6 inches in diameter. The lathe provides 8 inches of space between centers, making it suitable for crafting small, precision components. Its electronic speed control offers a continuously variable speed range from 70 to 2,800 RPM, eliminating the need for belt changes. Additionally, a secondary pulley position is available to provide extra torque at lower RPMs.

Constructed in the USA, this lathe is designed for producing high-quality precision parts from materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its desktop size, it delivers the precision and accuracy of a full-size machine. The lathe is equipped with a powerful 90V DC motor and an electronic speed controller, ensuring reliable performance. The inclusion of zero adjustable handwheels, laser-engraved aluminum collars, and a robust steel bed further enhances its functionality and ease of use.
