The Sherline Lathe CNC Upgrade Kit w/ Stepper Motors for 4400 (") is designed for individuals who already possess a Sherline lathe and wish to enhance its capabilities by integrating stepper motors for CNC functionality. This comprehensive kit facilitates the conversion process by providing essential components that allow users to utilize their own computer systems for control.
The kit includes a retrofit package that enables the installation of stepper motor mounts on both the X and Z axes of the lathe. A new leadscrew for the Z-axis is provided, while the existing cross slide screw is retained for continued use. Additionally, the package contains two standard stepper motors equipped with plugs, ensuring seamless integration with the lathe's mechanical system.
Central to the kit is a 4-axis driver box, which incorporates a power supply and all necessary cables to establish connections between the computer and the stepper motors. This driver box is crucial for the effective operation of the CNC system, facilitating precise control over the lathe's movements. Furthermore, the kit includes the Sherline Linux/EMC control program on a CD, offering users the option to install this software on their computers to manage the CNC operations efficiently.
Note: Ensure proper installation and handling of electrical components to prevent injury or damage.
