Sherline 4400 CNC-Ready Lathe

Sherline is best-known for their lathes which, though small, are well engineered and supported with a full range of accessories. The 3.5″ × 8″ 4000 is the smallest of them, suitable for jewelry, watchmaking and miniature modelmaking. The longer 4400 lathe has a 3.5″ swing and 17″ between centers, making it useful for small to medium-sized projects. Like all Sherline’s machines, these lathes are available in metric or Imperial versions. The metric version of the 4000 is called the 4100, the metric 4400 is the 4410. Both include Sherline’s variable-speed ¼ HP DC motor, so speed can be controlled with a twist of the dial.

CNC Upgrade Kit

The Sherline 8765 CNC Upgrade Kit adds two Sherline 67127 Stepper Motors, the Sherline 8760 4-Axis Driver Box, power supply, cables, and the EMC software for Linux on CD, transforming the CNC-ready version of either lathe into a full CNC machine.

You connect your computer (not included) to the driver box using a 25-pin parallel cable (included) attached to your computer’s parallel port. The CNC version runs on the same control system and software as the mill, so it’s possible to save money by switching leads and running both machines with the same box and computer, if you purchase both the CNC lathe and mill.
