Dave's "Sherline Tooling" Filing Rest, Turning Rest, and Simple Indexer

<< < (3/3)

Krypto:
Lovely photographs that perfectly capture the beautiful work done in making these tools!

My last few shop sessions have been devoted to tiny work at the lathe so I found your post especially interesting.  I'm starting to see the appeal of these small lathes and I've done enough research that if a used Sherline was available locally I could make an intelligent buying decision.  Luckily they haven't changed much over the years.

crueby:
About the only thing they changed over the years is how the backlash nuts are shaped, and the brand of the motors has changed a couple times but they all have the same specs. On a used ones, check for wear on the leadscrews and the ways, and how well the chuck jaws look. Parts and accessories are interchangable between old and new ones. The Sherlines are not as rigid for big parts as larger machines, but for small work they are great.

Dave Otto:
Thank you for all the very nice comments, they are all much appreciated!

Hi Dave,
Well here's another comment.
I to own a Sherline and like you have made a number of accessories.
All of them useful but none made to standard you have set with yours, which really is exceptional.
I really like the tool rest, when time permits maybe I shall.....?
Cheers Geoff
