Initially, Sherline mills manufactured before 1999 employed a nylon friction lock system, which required a socket head screw to secure the mill column gib and dovetail. However, with the advent of the Model 2000 mill in late 1998, a new locking system was introduced. This innovative system features a brass lever on the leadscrew that locks against the top of the saddle nut, offering a more secure lock without the need for additional tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upgrade involves replacing the existing system with a new locking lever and a saddle nut equipped with a spring-loaded ball. This design prevents the lever from self-locking when the leadscrew is turned, thereby enhancing the functionality of older machines. For those replacing a worn-out saddle nut, this upgrade simultaneously improves the machine's performance. Even if the current saddle nut remains functional, incorporating this feature can simplify and enhance the locking process, making it more reliable and user-friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"expandable-content__toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"main-description\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"expandable-content__toggle-icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"expandable-content__toggle-text\" data-view-more=\"View more\" data-view-less=\"View less\"\u003eView more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"card details_product\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"card__collapsible-button\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"unique-tab-2\"\u003e\r\n\u003cspan class=\"card__title heading h3\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\u003cspan\u003e\r\n\u003csvg focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon--arrow-bottom\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 8\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\r\n\u003cpath stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" d=\"M10 2L6 6 2 2\" fill=\"none\" stroke-linecap=\"square\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\r\n\u003c\/svg\u003e\r\n\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\u003c\/button\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv id=\"unique-tab-2\" class=\"card__collapsible\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"card__collapsible-content\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Sherline Mill Saddle Lock Upgrade Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"card details_product\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"card__collapsible-button\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"unique-tab-4\"\u003e\r\n\u003cspan class=\"card__title heading h3\"\u003eLinks\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\u003cspan\u003e\r\n\u003csvg focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon--arrow-bottom\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 8\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\r\n\u003cpath stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" d=\"M10 2L6 6 2 2\" fill=\"none\" stroke-linecap=\"square\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\r\n\u003c\/svg\u003e\r\n\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\u003c\/button\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv id=\"unique-tab-4\" class=\"card__collapsible\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"card__collapsible-content\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e\r\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePDF File\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.robotshop.com\/media\/S\/She\/RB-She-1823\/pdf\/sherline_mill_saddle_lock_upgrade_instructions_pdf_instructions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSherline Mill Saddle Lock Upgrade Instructions - PDF Instructions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sherline Machining Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45089776205975,"sku":"RB-She-1823","price":52.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/3997\/9927\/files\/pp_3803630.webp?v=1776289023","url":"https:\/\/ca.robotshop.com\/products\/sherline-mill-saddle-lock-upgrade-instructions","provider":"RobotShop Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
