jjr2001,

I know you will like the small QC Tool Post. I don't know the centerline distance from cross slide to spindle center on the little Sherline lathe, but you can increase the height of the main block to suit your application. I have used this little QC Tool Post on my 7 x 16 lathe with great success.
