The Sherline Manual 17-Inch Benchtop Lathe Package B (Metric) 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 combination of chucks, parts, and drill bits without compromising the available center-to-center distance.

This lathe is capable of turning parts up to 3.5 inches in diameter over the bed and 1.88 inches over the carriage without the need for riser blocks. With an optional riser block, it can handle parts up to 6 inches in diameter over the bed. The machine is equipped with an electronic speed control that allows for continuously variable speed adjustments ranging from 70 to 2,800 RPM, eliminating the need for belt changes. Additionally, a secondary pulley position provides extra torque at lower RPMs when necessary.

Constructed in the USA, this lathe is ideal for producing small, precision parts from a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its compact desktop size, it delivers the precision and accuracy expected from full-sized machines. The lathe features zero adjustable handwheels and a rocker toolpost, enhancing its value and functionality.

The Package B includes essential components such as a 3.1-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck, a 3/8-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, steady rest, live center, rear mount cutoff tool and holder, and a 3-piece 1/4-inch high-speed steel cutting tool set. These accessories, along with the Sherline Accessories Shop Guide Book, provide users with the tools needed to achieve high-quality results in their machining projects.
