The Sherline Manual 18-Inch NexGen Benchtop Mill Package A (Metric) is designed to enhance machining capabilities with its expansive work area and robust construction. This comprehensive package is tailored for intricate milling tasks, offering precision and efficiency for advanced projects.
The NexGen Benchtop Mill represents the largest vertical milling machine in the Sherline lineup, developed in response to the growing demand for larger part production in industrial, laboratory, and educational settings. It 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's cross-section has been increased to provide additional rigidity, ensuring stability during heavy cutting operations. While the column arm's side-to-side 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, allowing for seven directions of movement.
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 machine is manufactured in the USA, ensuring high-quality construction and reliable customer service.
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 are designed to facilitate a wide range of milling operations, enhancing the machine's versatility and functionality.
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.
