The lathe features a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring smooth and variable speed operation. It boasts a 24-inch steel bed with a 17-inch distance between centers, providing ample space for various machining tasks. The crosslide and tailstock are equipped with resettable, zero adjustable handwheels, each with laser-engraved aluminum collars, enhancing precision and ease of use.

Included in the B Package are essential components such as a 3.1-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck, a 3/8-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, and a steady rest. Additionally, it comes with a live center, a rear mount cutoff tool and holder, and a 3-piece 1/4-inch high-speed steel cutting tool set. For further convenience, a 5/32-inch T-driver, a 3-piece center drill set, and the Sherline Accessories Shop Guide Book are also provided.

This lathe is a versatile and reliable choice for those seeking to integrate CNC capabilities into their machining processes, offering the flexibility to source stepper motors and CNC components from various suppliers. Note: Ensure proper installation of stepper motors before operation to avoid potential hazards.
