The Sherline 14-Inch 8-Direction Benchtop Mill Package A CNC Ready (Metric) is a sophisticated machining tool designed for both hobbyists and professionals who require precision in their projects. This benchtop mill is CNC-ready, offering the capability to produce small, precise parts with high accuracy. It is particularly versatile, allowing for multi-directional machining 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.

This machine is compact in size, making it suitable for desktop use, yet it delivers the precision and accuracy expected from full-sized machinery. It is capable of cutting a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, thanks to its robust construction and design. The mill is equipped with factory-installed stepper motor mounts, which are essential for CNC operations, although the stepper motors themselves, along with the necessary computer and software, must be acquired separately to complete the CNC setup.

The package includes handwheels for each axis, which can be used for manual control once the stepper motors are installed. This feature provides flexibility for users who may wish to switch between manual and CNC operations. The mill also features a powerful 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring smooth and efficient performance across a range of speeds.

Additional components of the package include a 14-inch base, a table with two T-slots, a drill chuck with key, a Morse arbor with drawbolt, and a column riser block. The machine is designed with oil reservoirs on the axes to maintain lubrication, enhancing its durability and performance during extended use. The inclusion of a brass leadscrew cover helps protect critical components from debris.

Note: CNC-ready machines cannot be operated manually unless double-shaft stepper motors are installed.
