Sherline 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with DRO Package C (Inch)

Description Sherline 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with DRO Package C (Inch) Features precision digital readout system Crafts intricate parts with high accuracy Suitable for wood, plastic, aluminum, steel Includes essential machining accessories Offers electronically controlled speed range The Sherline 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe with DRO Package C (Inch) 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, which 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 the resetting of any axis to zero with a simple button press, 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 suitable for cutting a range of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, despite its desktop size. It offers the precision and accuracy typically associated with full-sized machines, making it an ideal choice for those requiring meticulous detail in their work. The DRO system simplifies the process of tracking distance and direction, reducing the potential for errors and enhancing the overall machining experience. The lathe is powered by a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring consistent performance. It features a 15-inch steel bed, allowing for an 8-inch distance between centers, and is equipped with a variety of components to facilitate a wide range of machining operations. The C Package includes a 2.5-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck, a tailstock drill chuck with key, steady rest, live center, compound slide, and a rear mount cutoff tool and holder, among other accessories. These components provide users with the tools necessary to perform complex tasks with ease. Note: Ensure proper electrical compatibility when using the lathe in countries with 220-240 volt electrical current, as a wall socket adapter may be required.
