Includes variable swing capacity with riser blocks
The Sherline Manual 8-Inch Tabletop Lathe (Inch) (EU) is a compact and versatile machine designed for precision work on small parts. It is capable of turning parts up to 3.5 inches in diameter over the bed and 1.88 inches over the carriage, with the option to increase this capacity to 6 inches in diameter with the use of riser blocks. The lathe provides 8 inches of space between centers, making it suitable for a variety of applications including clockmaking and modeling.
This lathe is equipped with an electronic speed control that allows for continuously variable speeds ranging from 70 to 2,800 RPM, eliminating the need for belt changes. A secondary pulley position is available to provide additional torque at lower RPMs if required. Despite its small size, the lathe is robust enough to handle materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, offering full-size machine precision and accuracy in a desktop-sized package.
The machine is particularly advantageous for those with limited workspace, as it is the most compact lathe in its series and can be conveniently stored on a closet shelf. Its construction ensures high-quality precision parts, making it an ideal choice for users who demand accuracy and reliability in their machining tasks.
Note: Ensure proper safety measures are followed when operating the lathe to prevent accidents or injuries.
