The Sherline CNC-Ready Lathe Upgrade Kit - Complete 4000/4500 (") is designed to transform any existing Sherline lathe into a CNC-ready machine. This conversion process involves the precise installation of stepper motor mounts, which requires drilling and tapping several holes. The kit provides drill blocks that serve as guides for creating new holes, ensuring accurate alignment and installation. Additionally, a new leadscrew must be installed for the lathe's leadscrew component. Comprehensive instructions are included to facilitate the conversion process.
This complete upgrade kit is tailored for the Sherline lathe, providing all necessary components to prepare the machine for CNC control. It includes stepper motor mounts and preload nuts, which are essential for the secure attachment and operation of the stepper motors. The kit also features a CNC lathe bed leadscrew and thrust components, which are crucial for the smooth and precise movement of the lathe. Preload bearings and CNC couplings are included to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
The kit is designed to be compatible with aftermarket CNC systems, allowing users to integrate stepper motors, drivers, and software from various suppliers to complete their CNC setup. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for those looking to enhance their machining capabilities with CNC technology.
Note: Proper safety precautions should be observed during installation to prevent injury.
