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.

Sherline 3-jaw chucks are designed with synchronized jaws that move together to automatically center round or hex stock to within a few thousandths of an inch. They offer the fastest and most convenient way to hold work in a lathe, making them one of Sherline’s most popular accessories.
These chucks can grip externally on bar stock or internally on tubing. The jaws are reversible to handle a wider range of part sizes.
Compatibility with Sherline and Other Lathes
Chucks are available with different spindle threads for use on Sherline lathes (3/4-16) and other machines such as older Unimat models (12mm x 1mm or 14mm x 1mm) or Sears 6" lathes (1/2-20).
Note: Thread sizes other than 3/4″ x 16 are custom made and require 5–7 business days.
Jaw Options
If you prefer jaws with a looser fit for faster operation (where maximum accuracy isn’t critical), add a note requesting “loose jaws” below.
Soft steel jaws (unhardened and unmachined) are also available when building your own chuck.
