Completeinstructions are provided with the adapter to help you "perfectly"align the headstock and tailstock of your Sherline lathe.When you consider the alternative is to spend thousands of dollars for a jeweler's lathe that is far less versatile, the time is well spent.

The 8.0 mm adapter is made to holdcollets of that size. If your collets are not made by Sherline,measure them carefully to see which adapter you should use.
