The Sherline 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe Package B 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 capable of cutting a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, making it versatile for different 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 the lathe is not operational until these stepper motors are installed, as it does not include the motors, computer, or CNC software. For those who prefer manual control, dual-shaft stepper motors are recommended, allowing the attachment of handwheels to the rear shaft.

The lathe features a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring smooth and variable speed operation. It includes a 24-inch steel bed with a 17-inch distance between centers, providing ample space for various projects. The lathe is also equipped with resettable, zero adjustable handwheels for precise control over the leadscrew, crosslide feed screw, and tailstock.

The B Package enhances the lathe’s functionality with a 3.1-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck, a 3/8-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, and a steady rest for additional support during operations. It also includes a live center, a rear mount cutoff tool and holder, and a set of high-speed steel cutting tools for left-hand, right-hand, and boring operations. Additional accessories such as a T-driver, center drill set, and a comprehensive guide book are provided to assist users in maximizing the lathe’s capabilities.

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