Want a commercial grade headstock & bearings? Upgrade to our Sherline compatible commercial grade headstock with bigger bearings. These larger bearings are well suited for heavier chucks and wear. The headstock measures 3.5"x3.5", so it's more heavy duty.
Want more power? Add a 550 or 750 watt brushless motor to your order. Please see our site or other auctions
