Sherline Lathe User Guide and Specifications

This double rotary table setup by Bob Breslauer of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida,
is an example of the type of special setups Sherline tool owners sometimes develop.
Standard Dimensions of Sherline Tools
If you are making special tooling or a custom accessory for your Sherline tools, this will
save you the trouble of measuring your particular machine to find a dimension, some of
which are actually quite difficult to measure. If you need a dimension not listed here,
please call or write with your request.
Most of the regular specifications can be found by looking at the Lathe and Mill
descriptive pages which have a Specifications List at the end of each.
