The Sherline 14-Inch 8-Direction Benchtop Mill CNC Ready (Inch) (EU) is an advanced milling machine designed for precision and versatility. This benchtop mill is ideal for producing small, intricate parts with high accuracy. It offers an impressive range of motion, allowing the headstock spindle to be positioned in eight different directions, including the standard X, Y, and Z axes, as well as five additional angles for comprehensive drilling and milling capabilities. This feature makes it possible to work on parts from virtually any angle, enhancing the machine's adaptability for various tasks.
Manufactured in the USA, this CNC-ready mill is equipped with factory-installed stepper motor mounts, making it ready for the addition of stepper motors and computer numeric controls. However, it is important to note that the machine does not come with stepper motors, a computer, or CNC software, which must be acquired separately. The machine is capable of cutting a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, thanks to its robust construction and precise engineering.
The mill is compact in size, making it suitable for desktop use, yet it maintains the precision and accuracy of larger machines. It includes handwheels for each axis, which can be used for manual control once stepper motors are installed. The machine's design incorporates a powerful 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. Additionally, the mill features a 14-inch base, a spacious table with T-slots, and laser-engraved scales for precise measurements.
Note: CNC-ready machines cannot be operated manually unless double-shaft stepper motors are installed.
