The Sherline 18-Inch NexGen Benchtop Mill XY Base (Metric) is an advanced milling base designed for precision and versatility. It features an 18-inch mill base and an extended mill table, providing ample space for various milling tasks. The base is equipped with zero adjustable handwheels on both the X and Y axes, allowing for precise control and adjustments. These handwheels are complemented by laser-engraved aluminum collars, ensuring accuracy and ease of use.

An integrated oil reservoir on the X/Y axes enhances the smooth operation of the mill, reducing friction and wear over time. The travel capacity of the mill is substantial, with the X-axis offering a range of 8.65 inches (220 mm) and the Y-axis extending to 11.0 inches (279 mm), accommodating a wide array of milling projects.

For those seeking additional protection and durability, optional Y-axis leadscrew cover upgrades are available. These include a brass tube cover for the rear of the Y-axis and accordion way covers for both the front and rear. It is important to note that the brass tube cover requires the purchase of a Rigid Mill Column Base, as the round column base of the 8-direction mill is incompatible.

The Sherline 18-Inch NexGen Benchtop Mill XY Base is engineered for those who demand precision and reliability in their milling operations, making it an ideal choice for both professional and hobbyist machinists.
