Sherline Lathe with Stereo Microscope Lathe Sold Separately 2125

2125

Sherline now offers a high quality microscope and mount for the Sherline lathe. The stereo microscope allows very close inspection of the part while it is being cut with variable magnification from 5x to 100x. It can be purchased separately for use on any existing Sherline lathe or it can be ordered along with the purchase of a new lathe.

The purpose of the microscope and mount
There are a number of circumstances that might make extremely close inspection of the cutting of a part on the lathe important. First of all, this mount can be of use to those whose failing eyesight makes it difficult for them to work on parts. It is also useful for those with normal eyesight who work on extremely small parts. In addition, those who are tasked with working on very high value parts where a mistake can be costly will want to have the best possible view of what they are doing to assure a perfect cut the first time and every time. Added to the value of the purchase of this accessory is the fact that the microscope itself comes as a complete unit with its own base in addition to the lathe mount base, so it can be used apart from the lathe for other inspection purposes in the shop or lab.
