The Sherline 14-Inch 8-Direction Benchtop Mill CNC Ready (Inch) is a versatile and precision-engineered milling machine designed for seamless integration with CNC systems. This benchtop mill is ideal for both hobbyists and professionals who require a compact yet highly capable machine for creating small, precision parts. The mill's design allows for multi-directional machining, offering unparalleled flexibility with its ability to position the headstock spindle in eight different directions, including the standard X, Y, and Z axes, as well as additional angles for comprehensive drilling and milling operations.
Manufactured in the USA, this CNC-ready mill is equipped with factory-installed stepper motor mounts, making it ready for the addition of stepper motors and CNC controls. It is important to note that while the machine is CNC-ready, it does not include the stepper motors, computer, or CNC software, which must be acquired separately. The mill is capable of cutting a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, thanks to its robust construction and precision engineering.
The machine features a powerful 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring consistent performance across a range of speeds. The 14-inch base provides a stable platform for operations, while the included handwheels allow for manual control when stepper motors are installed. The mill's table is equipped with T-slots for secure workpiece mounting, and laser-engraved scales on the base and table enhance precision during machining tasks.
Additional features include a 2-inch column riser block, a ¼-inch drill chuck with a key, and a #1 Morse arbor with a drawbolt. The mill also comes with essential accessories such as pulleys, a drive belt, hexagonal keys, spindle bars, and a gib removal tool. Oil reservoirs on the X/Y and Z axes ensure that critical components remain lubricated, enhancing the machine's longevity and performance.
Note: Ensure proper installation of stepper motors and CNC controls before operation to avoid potential hazards.
