Transforms lathe into Chucker or gang-tooling setup

Requires headstock riser for proper alignment
Includes leadscrew and 1-5/8" handwheel
Incompatible with tailstock using riser plate
The Sherline 13" Lathe Crosslide & Saddle Assembly – Manual – 4488 ("') is designed for individuals seeking to transform their Sherline lathe into a Chucker Lathe or a gang-tooling lathe. This assembly features a 13-inch crosslide capable of accommodating multiple gang-tooling tool posts, offering enhanced versatility for specialized machining tasks. The crosslide is notably thicker than the standard version, measuring 0.870 inches, which necessitates the use of a headstock riser plate to align tooling with the headstock.
It is important to note that the increased thickness of the crosslide renders it unsuitable for standard lathe operations and requires specific modifications. The use of a headstock riser plate is essential, as it ensures proper alignment of the tooling. However, this setup precludes the use of the tailstock, as no riser is available for it, thereby preventing parts from being turned between centers. Additionally, certain accessories, such as the thread-cutting attachment, are incompatible with this thicker crosslide.
The assembly includes a leadscrew and a standard 1-5/8-inch handwheel, providing the necessary components for effective operation. This product is ideal for those looking to expand the capabilities of their Sherline lathe for specialized applications, while understanding the limitations imposed by the modifications required. Note: Ensure proper alignment and compatibility of components to avoid operational hazards.
