The Sherline Manual 18-Inch NexGen Benchtop Mill (Inch) represents the pinnacle of Sherline's vertical milling machines, designed to meet the growing demand for larger part production in industrial, laboratory, and educational settings. This advanced benchtop mill features an expanded mill base, an elongated crosslide table, and an extended mill column, offering increased capacity compared to previous models. The column base has been reinforced to enhance rigidity, ensuring stability during heavy cutting operations. While the column arm's side-to-side swing has been removed to maintain positional accuracy, the column retains its ability to rotate 90 degrees left and right, with in/out adjustments available, providing seven directions of movement including X, Y, Z, and headstock rotation.
This benchtop mill is ideal for those requiring a compact yet precise milling machine capable of producing small, high-quality parts. Despite its desktop size, the mill delivers full-size machine precision and accuracy, making it suitable for cutting wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. The machine is manufactured in the USA, ensuring high standards of quality and reliability.
The mill is equipped with a powerful 90V DC motor and an electronic speed controller, allowing for a wide range of spindle speeds. The design includes an 18-inch mill base with Y-axis leadscrew protection, an extended mill table with T-slots, and a tooling plate, all contributing to its versatility and functionality. The handwheels on the X, Y, and Z axes are resettable and zero adjustable, featuring laser-engraved aluminum collars for precision adjustments. Additional features include oil reservoirs on all axes and a comprehensive set of accessories to facilitate various milling tasks.
