The Sherline Manual 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe Package B (Metric) (EU) is a versatile and precise machine designed for machinists who require additional space and precision in their work. This benchtop lathe offers a significant advantage with its 17-inch distance between centers, compared to the more compact 8-inch version. This extra space is particularly beneficial when working with larger parts, as it accommodates a chuck and a larger tailstock chuck with a long drill bit, providing ample room for various machining tasks.

This lathe is equipped with zero adjustable handwheels and a rocker toolpost, enhancing its value and functionality. It can turn parts up to 3.5 inches in diameter over the bed or up to 1.88 inches over the carriage without the need for riser blocks. With an optional riser block, the lathe can handle parts up to 6 inches in diameter over the bed. The electronic speed control allows for continuously variable speed adjustments ranging from 70 to 2,800 RPM, eliminating the need for belt changes. Additionally, a second pulley position is available to provide extra torque at lower RPMs when necessary.

The lathe is ideal for producing small, precision parts and is capable of cutting materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel with high accuracy. Despite its compact desktop size, it delivers the precision and accuracy expected from full-size machines. The package includes a powerful 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, a 3.1-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck, a 3/8-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, and various other accessories to enhance its functionality.

Note: Ensure proper safety measures are followed while operating the lathe to prevent accidents or injuries.
