The Sherline 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe Package C CNC Ready (Metric) is an exemplary tool for those seeking a compact yet highly precise CNC lathe for crafting small components. Manufactured in the USA, this lathe is designed to deliver precision akin to full-sized machines, despite its desktop dimensions. It is capable of cutting a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, making it versatile for different applications.

This CNC-ready lathe is equipped with factory-installed stepper motor mounts, replacing traditional handwheels, and is prepared for the integration of 23-frame size stepper motors and computer numeric controls. It is important to note that while the lathe is CNC-ready, it requires the installation of stepper motors, a computer, and CNC software to be operational. Handwheels are included for each axis, allowing for manual control once the stepper motors are installed. Sherline provides high-quality stepper motors and CNC options, and there are also various aftermarket suppliers available for completing the CNC system.

The lathe features a robust 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring smooth and variable speed operation. It includes a 24-inch steel bed with a 17-inch distance between centers, providing ample space for various projects. The lathe is equipped with a rocker tool post, pulleys, a drive belt, a faceplate, a lathe dog, two dead centers, and a set of hexagonal keys, among other components. The C Package further enhances the lathe's capabilities with a 3.1-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck, a 3/8-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, a steady rest, a live center, a compound slide, and a rear mount cutoff tool and holder. Additionally, it includes a 3-piece 1/4-inch high-speed steel cutting tool set, a 5/32-inch T-driver, a 3-piece center drill set, and a Sherline Accessories Shop Guide Book, along with a thread cutting attachment.

Note: Ensure proper installation of stepper motors and CNC components before operation to avoid potential hazards.
