The Sherline 17″ Benchtop Lathe w/o Headstock, Motor & Speed Controller (Metric) offers a substantial 17-inch distance between centers, providing ample space for machinists working with larger components. This additional capacity is particularly beneficial when using a combination of chucks and long drill bits, as it allows for greater flexibility and efficiency in machining operations. The lathe is equipped with zero adjustable handwheels and a rocker toolpost, enhancing its value and functionality.

This benchtop lathe is capable of turning parts up to 3.5 inches in diameter over the bed and 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. The electronic speed control facilitates a continuously variable speed range from 70 to 2,800 RPM, eliminating the need for belt changes and providing extra torque at low RPM when required.

Designed for precision and accuracy, the lathe is suitable for producing small, high-quality parts from materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its compact size, it delivers the precision and accuracy expected from full-size machines. The lathe is manufactured in the USA, ensuring high standards of quality and reliability.

Standard equipment for this model includes a 2.75-inch by 6.0-inch crosslide, a 24-inch steel bed with 17 inches between centers, and resettable zero adjustable handwheels on the leadscrew, crosslide feed screw, and tailstock.
