It’s a Sherline Model 4400 17” bench top lathe. A buddy ended up with 8 of these in various pieces. We went through them all and collected enough to see what was missing. He gave me 2 of them, with another for spare parts. I bought the stuff to make it all functional, with some nice upgrades. I haven’t used a lathe since 7th grade shop class, which was NOT in this century. I figure that I’ve got enough parts and pieces around here that I can experiment until I get higher than “hack” status. At the very least, it’ll keep me off the streets and away from swap meets for a while. It can be adapted for CNC, but I’m gonna wait until it becomes addicting first.
...Nice! One of those tools average person doesn't use very often, but only one that will do job when you do...
