8″ Tabletop Lathe
This 4000-series tabletop lathe can turn a part up to 3.5” in diameter over the bed or up to 1.88” over the carriage without riser blocks. With an optional riser block, parts up to 6” in diameter can be turned over the bed. The lathe has 8” of space between centers. The electronic speed control allows continuously variable speed control from 70 to 2,800 RPM without belt changes. There is a second pulley position available that offers extra torque at low RPM if needed. This lathe is a good choice for clockmakers, modelers, or those who will be working on small parts. It is also the most compact lathe we make and is easily used where space is at a premium and can be stored on a closet shelf. Our tabletop lathe is perfect for the customer looking for a mini lathe machine to make small, precision parts. All our mini lathes are made in the USA, and our customer service is second to none. Although our lathes are small, they can produce high-quality precision parts. Our 8" tabletop lathe will not only cut wood and plastic but is also rigid and accurate enough to cut aluminum and steel parts. This small lathe is a desktop-size machine with full-size machine precision and accuracy. Standard equipment includes:
  • A powerful 90V DC motor with electronic speed controller*
  • 2.75" (70mm) x 6.0" (152mm) crosslide
  • 15" (381mm) steel bed to allow 8" (203mm) between centers
  • Standard 1-5/8" (41mm) laser-engraved aluminum handwheels
  • Pulleys, drive belt, faceplate, lathe dog, two dead centers, three hexagonal keys, tool post, sharpened high-speed steel cutting tool, eight-foot three-wire power cord, and instruction manual
* Not included with lathe without motor and speed control

6554 CNC 8″ Single-Axis slide with Programmable CNC Contoller
6554 CNC 8″ Single-Axis slide with Programmable CNC Contoller
Single-Axis Slide with Programmable CNC Contoller

Sherline’s single-axis controllers are designed to drive the stepper motor on any individual axis of a lathe or mill—no separate computer or driver is required. Each controller features an integrated computer chip within the keypad/control unit, allowing you to operate the motor directly from the keypad or enter simple programmed sequences—no G-code knowledge needed.

You can program parameters such as direction, travel distance, feed rate, and whether to pause between operations or proceed automatically to the next step. The controller can store up to 40 steps (each with four parameters) in either of two user-defined programs. Multiple controllers can be linked via cable to synchronize movements or can be connected to a larger CNC system using “sense” and “acknowledge” signals to coordinate actions within a CNC sequence.

Stepper Motor Mounting & Drive System

Each stepper motor mount includes dual ball bearings with a preload nut to eliminate endplay. A dampened coupling connects the motor’s 1/4" diameter shaft to the leadscrew. The dual-shaft stepper motor also allows for manual operation using the provided handwheel. The controller employs micro-stepping for precise, smooth movement.

Mounting Options

  • From the Bottom: Four 1/4-20 holes on 2" centers in the base for mounting from below.

  • From the Top: If bottom access is unavailable, use the included four angle clamps that fit into the perimeter groove of the base. Drill and tap the mounting surface for the included 10-32 socket head cap screws. Use all four clamps for maximum stability.

Included Components (Linear Machine Slide with Programmable Controller)

  • Single-axis slide with your choice of 8", 13", or 18" table

  • Linear controller with integrated keypad

  • Power supply

  • NEMA #23 frame size stepper motor

  • 1-5/8" handwheel, graduated in .001" increments (inch) or .01 mm increments (metric)

  • Cables

  • Complete instructions

Power Supply

The included power supply operates on 115/120 VAC, 60 Hz (38 W). For regions with 100, 220, or 240 VAC and/or 50 Hz power, a step-down transformer is required. Alternatively, you may supply 24VDC, 1A (1000 mA) from a compatible local power source. Sherline does not offer a 220V power supply or transformer.

Weight Capacity

The slide has a weight capacity of approximately 10 lbs, depending on table length and load placement. For an 18" table, limit off-center loads (at the table end) to no more than 10 lbs. Heavier loads may be supported if centered near the base.

Duty Cycle & Maintenance

Under heavy, continuous use, you may observe wear on the anodized dovetail surfaces after one year (approx. 2080 hours). The slide remains fully functional, but regular lubrication with light oil is recommended to maximize lifespan.

IMPORTANT: Do not use WD-40 for lubrication. It will strip the anodized coating.

8″ Tabletop Lathe with DRO

Our 8″ DRO Benchtop lathes includes a digital readout box and specialized handwheels with built-in electronic encoders that replace the standard handwheels (standard handwheels are not included with the DRO option). These DRO handwheels interface with the readout box, which translates handwheel movement into precise digital readings for each axis. Each axis can be zeroed at any time with the push of a button, and the DRO continuously displays spindle RPM whenever the motor is running. The readout is compatible with both inch and metric machines.

This compact DRO lathe is ideal for customers who need a small-format machine capable of producing highly accurate, precision parts. Proudly made in the USA, all our lathes are backed by exceptional customer support. Despite its desktop size, this machine delivers full-size performance – capable of cutting wood, plastic, aluminum, and even steel with excellent rigidity and accuracy.

Using the DRO System

The DRO displays each axis position relative to a zero point you set.

  • Inch models show position to 0.0005″ (three and a half decimal places)
  • Metric models show position to 0.01 mm

The system supports both ball screw and leadscrew machines. As well as the ability to use Metric DROs on inch machines or inch DROs on metric machines. It features six selectable modes based on machine type (mill or lathe), screw type (leadscrew or ball screw), and preferred display units (inch or metric). For setup instructions, refer to the official DRO Mode Instructions.

You can electronically compensate for backlash by inputting the measured backlash value for each axis. When the direction of handwheel rotation reverses, the DRO subtracts the backlash before updating the position – eliminating common errors and making it easier to track travel distance and direction. The power supply automatically switches between 120V and 240V, making it suitable for use in countries with 220–240V electrical current. A socket adapter may be required outside North America.

Features of the 8″ Benchtop Lathe
  • 15″ (381 mm) steel bed giving 8″ (203 mm) between centers
