Sherline 13" Lathe Crosslide Assembly – CNC Ready 4088 (Metric)

Description Sherline 13" Lathe Crosslide Assembly – CNC Ready 4088 (Metric) Replacement part for Sherline Measures 13" with .870" thickness Converts lathe to Chucker or gang-tooling The Sherline 13" Lathe Crosslide Assembly – CNC Ready 4088 (Metric) is designed for those seeking to transform their Sherline lathe into a Chucker Lathe or a gang-tooling lathe. This crosslide is notably thicker than the standard version, measuring .870 inches, which necessitates the use of a headstock riser plate to align tooling with the headstock. This modification allows for the accommodation of multiple gang-tooling tool posts, enhancing the lathe's versatility for specialized tasks. However, the increased thickness of the crosslide introduces certain limitations. It is not advisable to use this crosslide as a replacement for standard lathe operations. The setup precludes the use of a tailstock, as there is no riser available for it, thereby preventing parts from being turned between centers.
