Today I received my Lathe.  I picked up a Sherline 4400 DRO model off of ebay.  This one has a 3.5×17 inch envelope.  It came with the 3.1 inch 3 jaw chuck and a few basic accessories.  My primary purpose in getting it is to learn how to machine using a Lathe.  I’ve already found a few potential uses, but I’m not sure how realistic those are yet.  The DRO will be very useful until I CNC it.
