The Sherline 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe Package C CNC Ready (Inch) is an exemplary tool for those seeking a compact yet highly precise CNC lathe for crafting small parts. 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 precision of a full-sized machine, making it an ideal choice for both hobbyists and professionals requiring meticulous detail in their work.

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 is not a turn-key machine and requires the installation of stepper motors, a computer, and CNC software to be operational. Handwheels are included for manual control, but they can only be utilized once the stepper motors are installed.

The lathe comes with a robust 90V DC motor featuring 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 package also features a 3.1-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck, a 3/8-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, and a range of accessories such as a steady rest, live center, compound slide, and a rear mount cutoff tool and holder. Additionally, it includes a 3-piece 1/4-inch high-speed steel cutting tool set, a 5/32-inch T-driver, a 3-piece center drill set, and a Sherline Accessories Shop Guide Book, along with a thread cutting attachment.

Note: Ensure proper installation of stepper motors and CNC components before operation to avoid potential hazards.
