The Sherline 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe Package A CNC Ready (Inch) is an exemplary tool for those seeking a compact yet highly precise CNC lathe for crafting small components. Manufactured in the USA, this lathe is designed to deliver exceptional precision and accuracy, akin to full-sized machines, while maintaining a desktop-friendly size. It is adept at cutting a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, making it a versatile choice for diverse machining needs.

This CNC-ready 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. It is important to note that while the lathe is CNC-ready, it requires the installation of stepper motors, a computer, and CNC software to become operational. The inclusion of handwheels for each axis allows for manual control once dual-shaft stepper motors are installed, providing flexibility in operation.

The lathe features a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring smooth and variable speed adjustments. Its construction includes a 24-inch steel bed with a 17-inch distance between centers, offering ample space for various projects. The lathe is also equipped with resettable, zero adjustable handwheels, each with laser-engraved aluminum collars, enhancing precision in adjustments.

The Package A configuration includes a 3.1-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck and a 3/8-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, along with Morse arbors and a drawbolt, providing essential components for immediate use. The lathe also comes with a rocker tool post, pulleys, drive belt, faceplate, lathe dog, dead centers, hexagonal keys, a tool post, a sharpened high-speed steel cutting tool, and an instruction manual, ensuring users have the necessary tools and guidance for operation.

Note: CNC-ready machines cannot be operated manually unless double-shaft stepper motors are installed.
