Sherline Lathes

When used with various accessories, a Sherline lathe can perform many tasks. It can turn, face, bore, drill, ream, polish, cut tapers, and cut both English and metric threads.

When used with its vertical milling column attachment it can be used for milling, fly cutting, drilling, and boring operations.

Sherline offers several lathes to fit every budget and need. They are available with either inch or millimeter calibrations. A high torque DC motor with variable speed control is standard with each machine.
