    Default My new toy: Sherline 4400 lathe

    Don't let the small size fool you. This 90 volt DC charged mini is very powerful. I'm finally embarking on a new razor complimentary interest.

    My Sherline 4400 lathe with assorted tooling
    Brown & Sharpe 1" micrometer (Swiss made Brown & Sharpe)
    Compac .0005" Dial Test Indicator (Swiss made)

    Now I've got to put in that order for brass and nickel silver rod! And, I've got to brush up on my horrible math skills don't cha know.

    The lathe looks like fun. It is kind of funny I bought a used Sherline lathe a few months ago I have enjoyed it an awful lot. It is a good little tool.

    Nice toy ChrisL.
    Looks like you're gonna make "stuff"

    Very cool, Charlie. I have a partner in crime then. I joined the Yahoo Sherline group some time ago before I even got this lathe. It seems like a great group of people. The Yahoo group format compared to SRP though is like horse and buggy. It's something I just can't get accustomed to.

    Nice!

    I like working with lathes. I made a baseball bat when I was at school on a lathe and it was great fun! One of these days, when I have more space (!), I'd like to get a decent workshop together. The one at school was great, we had a forge, lathes, buffers, saws, drill presses.... I wish I'd been a straight razor shaver then!

    Hope you enjoy it!

    It turns metal rods into a lot of shavings that I have to clean up.
