Description Sherline 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe with DRO Package B (Inch) Enhances precision with DRO system Handles wood, metal, plastic easily Features powerful 90V DC motor Offers 70-2,800 RPM spindle speed Includes versatile accessory package The Sherline 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe with DRO Package B (Inch) is a precision-engineered machine designed for crafting small, intricate parts with high accuracy. This benchtop lathe is equipped with a digital readout (DRO) system that includes a digital readout box and specialized handwheels with built-in electronic encoders. These components work together to provide precise measurements of table travel across three axes, enhancing the user's ability to maintain accuracy during machining tasks. The DRO system allows for easy resetting of the readout to zero, facilitating precise control over the machining process. Additionally, the spindle RPM is continuously displayed, ensuring optimal monitoring of the machine's performance. This lathe is particularly suitable for those requiring a compact yet highly capable machine for producing precision parts. Despite its desktop size, it offers the precision and accuracy typically associated with larger machines. It is versatile enough to handle a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, making it an ideal choice for a range of applications. The DRO system enhances the user experience by simplifying the tracking of distance and direction, thereby reducing the potential for errors and making the machining process more enjoyable. The system also includes features to electronically eliminate backlash, further improving the accuracy of the machine. The lathe is powered by a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, providing a wide range of spindle speeds. The machine's construction includes a steel bed with a 17-inch distance between centers, ensuring stability and precision during operation. The B Package offers additional accessories, including a 3-jaw self-centering chuck, tailstock drill chuck, steady rest, live center, and a set of high-speed steel cutting tools, among others, to enhance the machine's functionality and versatility. Note: Ensure proper safety measures are followed during operation to prevent accidents or injuries.
