Been a minute since I’ve seen a Sherline in actual use…Parting...is such sweet sorrow.

I still have to turn down a large bushing, press it in, then face the whole shebang. The neck on the arbor bushing needs to be turned down a bit, too, to fit into the shroud properly.
I'll have to break out the 4-jaw for that, tho...this part could be kindly described as "egg-shaped".

I had a Sherline mill that I converted to a home-brew CNC that I sold. Part of me wishes I never sold it.
Funny, at the time I never understood having a lathe yet if I had a Sherline lathe I'd have made or modified a million things on it. Every now and then I check Craigslist to see what local options there are used and come up short in the small lathe department.
Project done(ish). I need to buy a new stone, because grandpa had squished a 1-3/8 wide stone in there with a 5/8 arbor hole.
