8400B 8" CNC Tabletop Lathe System Package B (LinuxCNC)

Sherline 8400B
Turning (lathe) F2 · Intermediate

A precision lathe with a rigid aluminium-and-steel body, suited to small parts in wood, plastic, aluminium and steel. Stepper-driven CNC control, dovetail slides and the Package B kit (self-centering chuck, steady rest, live center, cutoff tool) place it beyond a basic hobby machine while staying short of the performance and automation of an industrial one. It targets prototyping, model engineering, research and teaching.
