The Sherline 18-Inch NexGen Benchtop Mill with DRO (Inch) is engineered for precision and versatility, making it an ideal choice for complex machining tasks that demand high accuracy. This advanced milling machine features a larger work area and enhanced rigidity, complemented by a digital readout system that ensures precise control over machining operations. The digital readout box, paired with special handwheels equipped with electronic encoders, translates handwheel movements into a display of table travel across three axes, allowing for real-time monitoring and adjustments. The spindle RPM is also displayed whenever the motor is operational, providing comprehensive oversight of the milling process.

This benchtop mill is particularly suited for producing small, precision parts, capable of machining materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel with high accuracy. Despite its compact desktop size, it offers the precision and accuracy typically associated with full-size machines. The digital readout system allows users to reset the position of any axis to zero at any time, facilitating ease of use and reducing the potential for errors. The system also features electronic backlash elimination, enhancing the precision of directional changes during machining.

The mill is equipped with a powerful 90V DC motor and an electronic speed controller, adaptable to various electrical currents, ensuring consistent performance across different regions. The machine's construction includes an 18-inch mill base with Y-axis leadscrew protection, an extended mill table with T-slots, and an extra-rigid column base, all contributing to its robust performance. The digital readout box, complete with an LCD display and RPM sensor, enhances the user experience by providing clear and accurate data.

Note: Ensure proper handling and operation to avoid injury or damage during use.
