Description Sherline 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with DRO Package B (Metric) Crafts precision parts with accuracy Includes digital readout system (DRO) Handles multiple materials like wood and steel Offers adjustable spindle speeds up to 2800 RPM Comes with a complete set of essential accessories The Sherline 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with DRO Package B (Metric) is a precision-engineered machine designed for crafting small, intricate parts with high accuracy. This compact lathe is equipped with a digital readout (DRO) system that includes a digital readout box and specialized handwheels with 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, and it continuously displays spindle RPM when the motor is operational. This feature is adaptable for both inch and metric measurements, making it versatile for various machining needs. Constructed in the USA, the lathe is renowned for its ability to produce high-quality precision parts despite its desktop size. It is capable of cutting a range of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, thanks to its robust and accurate design. The DRO system simplifies the process of tracking distance and direction, reducing the likelihood of errors and enhancing the overall machining experience. The lathe is powered by a 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring smooth and variable spindle speeds. It features a steel bed that allows for an 8-inch distance between centers, providing ample space for various projects. The DRO Package B includes a comprehensive set of accessories, such as a 2.5-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck, a tailstock drill chuck with key, Morse arbors, a steady rest, a live center, and a rear mount cutoff tool and holder. Additionally, it comes with a set of high-speed steel cutting tools, a T-driver, a center drill set, and a guidebook for accessories, making it a complete package for both novice and experienced machinists. Note: Ensure proper electrical compatibility when using the power supply in countries outside North America, as a wall socket adapter may be required.
