The Sherline CNC-Ready Lathe Upgrade Kit - Complete 4100/4530 (Metric) is designed to transform any existing Sherline lathe into a CNC-ready machine. This conversion process involves the precise installation of stepper motor mounts, which requires drilling and tapping several holes. The kit provides drill blocks that serve as guides for creating new holes, ensuring accurate alignment and installation. Additionally, a new leadscrew must be installed for the lathe's leadscrew mechanism. Comprehensive instructions are included to facilitate the conversion process.
This complete upgrade kit is tailored for the Sherline lathe, offering essential components to enable CNC functionality. It includes stepper motor mounts and preload nuts, which are crucial for the secure attachment and operation of the stepper motors. The kit also features a CNC lathe bed leadscrew and thrust components, which are integral to the lathe's movement and precision. Preload bearings and CNC couplings are provided to ensure smooth and efficient operation.
The CNC-ready designation indicates that the machine is prepared for the integration of stepper motors and CNC control, which the user must supply. For those unable to develop their own CNC system, various aftermarket suppliers offer compatible stepper motors, drivers, and software to complete the setup.
Note: Ensure all safety precautions are followed during installation to prevent injury or damage.
