13″ Lathe Crosslide Assembly – Manual

This 13″ crosslide is designed for users who want to convert their Sherline lathe into a Chucker Lathe or gang-tooling lathe. Its extended length allows for mounting multiple gang-tooling tool posts along the crosslide.

The 13″ crosslide measures .870″ thick, compared to .625″ for the standard 6″ crosslide. Due to its increased thickness, this crosslide is not recommended as a direct replacement for standard lathe use. To bring the tooling on center with the headstock, a Headstock Riser Plate is required.

When using this setup, note that:

• The tailstock cannot be used, as we  offer a riser for the headstock only – not for the tailstock.

• Turning between centers will no longer be possible.

• Certain accessories, such as the thread-cutting attachment, are not compatible with the thicker crosslide.

The 13″ crosslide includes a leadscrew and a standard 1-5/8″ handwheel, saddle not included.
