The Sherline Manual 18-Inch NexGen Benchtop Mill Package A (Inch) is designed to enhance machining capabilities with its expanded work area and increased structural rigidity. This comprehensive package is tailored for advanced milling tasks, offering precision and performance. As the largest vertical milling machine in the Sherline lineup, it caters to the growing demand for larger part production in industrial, laboratory, and educational settings. The NexGen model features an extended mill base, a longer crosslide table, and an elongated mill column, surpassing the dimensions of the deluxe 8-direction benchtop mill. The column base has been reinforced to support the extended column travels, ensuring stability during heavy-duty operations. While the column arm's lateral swing has been removed to enhance positional stability, 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 users seeking a compact milling machine capable of producing small, precision parts. Despite its desktop size, it delivers the precision and accuracy of a full-size machine, capable of cutting materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. The mill is equipped with a powerful 90V DC motor and an electronic speed controller, ensuring efficient operation. The 18-inch mill base is protected by a Y-axis leadscrew cover, and the extended mill table features two T-slots for versatile tooling options. The column bed is extended for additional rigidity, and the handwheels on the X, Y, and Z axes are resettable and zero adjustable, with laser-engraved aluminum collars for precision.
The package includes essential accessories such as a step block hold-down set, a Sherline hex T-driver, a center drill set, a fly cutter with a carbide bit, a mill collet set with a drawbolt, an end mill set, an end mill holder, a milling vise, and a Sherline Accessories Shop Guide. These components ensure that users have the necessary tools for a wide range of milling applications. The machine's design and construction reflect Sherline's commitment to quality, with all milling machines manufactured in the USA.
Note: When working with brass or wood, it is recommended to use the toggle switch dust cover to protect the motor and speed control from dust and debris.
