The Sherline 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe Package A CNC Ready (Metric) 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, making it suitable for cutting materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its desktop size, it offers the performance of a full-sized machine, ensuring high-quality results in various applications.

This CNC-ready lathe comes 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 fully operational. The inclusion of handwheels for each axis allows for manual control once dual-shaft stepper motors are installed, providing flexibility in operation.

The standard equipment accompanying this lathe includes a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, a crosslide, and a steel bed with a significant distance between centers. The lathe also features resettable, zero adjustable handwheels with laser-engraved aluminum collars, a rocker tool post, and various essential components such as pulleys, a drive belt, a faceplate, a lathe dog, dead centers, hexagonal keys, a tool post, a sharpened high-speed steel cutting tool, and an instruction manual.

The A Package specifically includes a 3.1-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck and a 3/8-inch tailstock drill chuck with a key, along with Morse arbors and a drawbolt. These components enhance the lathe’s versatility and functionality, making it a comprehensive solution for precision machining tasks.

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