Sherline manually controlled lathes can turn metal, wood, or plastic and come in two different sizes: tabletop (8″ bed) and benchtop (17″ bed). Both lathe bed lengths are available in your choice of inch or metric calibrations. All our lathes are made in the USA, and our customer service is second to none. Although our lathes are small, they can produce high-quality precision parts. These lathes are tabletop-size machines with full-size machine precision and accuracy.
