Hi,
The machine is fully capable of making the part with a decent finish, it's just a matter of how fast. Keep in mind that basically, the only thing that is sherline is the z colum and the spindle. I did a lot of research and the sherline spindle seems to be very good. I have found $5k plus machines that use the sherline spindle. Here is a pic of one of the finished parts. It's a handle for a motion picture camera.
