Sherline lathes have been retrofitted by various companies to add CNC controls. Rather than providing different hole patterns and mounts for each company, Sherline has now standardized the CNC mount by introducing their own design. All accessories and handwheels that would normally come with that machine are included, but they are configured with stepper motor mounts on the crosslide and leadscrew, ready for your stepper motor and controls. The mounts feature a superior flexible coupler that is connected to the leadscrew through two ball bearings that are preloaded to eliminate play. This is a solid high quality mount.

This lathe can turn a part up to 3.5” in diameter over the bed or up to 1.88” over the carriage without riser blocks. With an optional riser block, parts up to 6” in diameter can be turned over the bed. The lathe has 8” of space between centers. The electronic speed control allows continuously variable speed control from 70 to 2800 RPM without belt changes. There is a second pulley position available that offers extra torque at low RPM if needed.
CNC-READY MACHINES: Any
Sherline lathe or mill can be ordered with stepper motor mounts in place of the handwheels ready for the installation of NEMA 23 size stepper motors. (Stepper motors, drivers and software are not included.) Handwheels are included for use on the rear shaft of dual shaft stepper motors, but the stepper motors must be installed before manual control can be achieved. Machines equipped with stepper motor mounts are denoted by the machine or machine/accessory packages part number followed by the letters “CNC”.
