Sherline 4400C - 3.5" x 17" Lathe "C" Package
If you are interested in a lathe with more distance between centers,
the model 4400 (metric 4410) lathe is available. Several upgrades are
included in the purchase price. Standard equipment is the same as on
the model 4000; that is, 90 VDC motor with electronic speed controller,
a 2.75" (70mm) x 6.0" (152mm) crosslide, pulleys, belt, faceplate, lathe
dog, two dead centers, three hexagonal keys, sharpened high-speed steel
cutting tool, eight-foot, three-wire power cord and instruction booklet.
In addition, the model 4400 lathe has a 24" (610mm) bed that has 17"
(431mm) between centers, a 2.5" (63mm) resettable “zero” handwheel on
the leadscrew, two 2" (51mm) resettable “zero” handwheels on the crosslide
and feed screw and a rocker tool post (P/N 3057) substituted for the
standard tool post used on the shortbed lathes. The electronic speed
control allows continuously variable speed control from 70 to 2800 RPM
without belt changes.
There is a second pulley position available that offers extra torque at
low RPM if needed.Many machinists find that the extra space between centers
comes in handy when working with a part held in a chuck and a larger tailstock
chuck with a long drill bit in place. The combination of chucks, part and
drill can eat up a lot of the available center-to-center distance, and a
little extra capacity is often appreciated.This lathe offers the same diameter
turning capacities as the shorter lathe and same powerful motor/speed control.
The differences are both the extra 9” of center distance and the addition of
extras like the adjustable zero handwheels and rocker toolpost, making this
lathe a good value for the extra cost.
