Standard equipment for the CNC lathe includes:

  • A powerful 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller
  • 2.75″ (70 mm) x 6.0″ (152 mm) crosslide
  • 24″ (610 mm) steel bed that has 17″ (431 mm) between centers
  • 2.5″ (63 mm) resettable “zero” handwheel on the leadscrew, a 2″ (51 mm) resettable “zero” handwheel on the crosslide feed screw, and a 2″ (51mm) resettable “zero” handwheel on the tailstock. Each handwheel has laser engraved aluminum handwheel collars
  • Rocker tool post (P/N 3057) substituted for the standard tool post used on the short-bed lathes
  • Pulleys, drive belt, faceplate, lathe dog, two dead centers, three hexagonal keys, tool post, sharpened high-speed steel cutting tool, eight-foot three-wire power cord, and instruction manual

NOTE: The instructions that accompany Sherline CNC systems are written primarily for use with a mill, but due to a number of requests, we have made the system available for lathe users as well. The primary consideration when using the system with a lathe is to keep in mind that movement of a tool on the crosslide axis removes material from the RADIUS of the part, resulting in two times that amount being removed from the DIAMETER.
