## Overview

The Sherline Compound Slide (Part Number 1270) is a precision tool designed for lathe users, allowing for seamless taper turning without headstock misalignment. With a laser-engraved scale for 1° angle increments and a dovetailed slide offering approximately 1-5/8" of travel, this tool enhances versatility and accuracy in your machining projects.

## Description

without rotating the headstock. Four mounting holes are provided in the base for solid positioning on the crosslide. The base has a red anodized finish with laser engraved angle scales to make setting an angle easy. It utilizes a highly efficient locking ring design to lock it in position without having to overtighten the locking screws. A 1/4″ cutting tool can be mounted across the front or on either side of the head. Unlike compounds used on full-size, conventional lathes, this one was designed to be used from the “back” side of the table. This allows it to be designed in a more compact size and used without interference from the crosslide handwheel. The lathe tool is inserted in the holder “upside down” so the cutting tip faces downward. Because of the small size of the miniature lathe, operating the crosslide handwheel in this position is just as convenient. Travel of the slide block is up to 1.75″ when square to the base or angled slightly. When angled 45° the handwheel will hit the corner of the base, shortening travel to about 1.25″. At angles between about 20° and 45° travel is restricted between the two dimensions depending on angle. The Sherline compound slide is available in both inch and metric versions. On the inch version, the handwheel is calibrated in .001″ increments driving a 20 TPI leadscrew. On the metric version, the handwheel is calibrated in .01 mm increments driving a 1 mm pitch leadscrew. The inch handwheels have 50 marks (one revolution = 0.050″). The metric handwheels have 100 marks (one revolution = 1.0 mm).

    A great product by Sherline. Beautifully finished and machined.
  

*by R***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2018*

I am surprised at the quality and finish! The anodizing is beautiful and durable, the dovetail slides are machined snugly without any lateral movement and the lockdown is secure. My only critiques are the brass block needs to be split with an 8-32 screw to snug the threads against the lead screw and I have about .010" backlash due to the small gap between the knob and the upper slide. I'm currently trying to find a small radial bearing to help eliminate as much movement as I can. I'd be happy to get it down to .001-.003" like my other machines. Regardless, I'm very happy and would recommend this product to anybody. Thank you!
