The Sherline 14-Inch 8-Direction Benchtop Mill Package A CNC Ready (Metric) (EU) is a sophisticated milling machine designed for both hobbyists and professionals who require precision in their machining projects. This benchtop mill offers unparalleled versatility with its ability to operate in eight different directions, allowing for intricate drilling and milling from virtually any angle. It is particularly suitable for creating small, precision parts and is capable of cutting materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel with high accuracy.
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 cannot be operated manually until double-shaft stepper motors are installed. The inclusion of handwheels for each axis allows for manual control once the stepper motors are in place. The machine's compact desktop size does not compromise its ability to deliver full-size machine precision and accuracy.
The package includes a powerful 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. The mill features a 14-inch base and a table with two T-slots, providing ample space for various machining tasks. Additional components such as a ¼-inch drill chuck with a key, a column riser block, and laser-engraved scales on the base and table enhance the machine's functionality and ease of use.
The A Package further enriches the mill's capabilities with 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, and a milling vise. These accessories, along with the Sherline Accessories Shop Guide, provide users with the tools needed to tackle a wide range of machining projects.
Note: CNC-ready machines cannot be operated manually unless double-shaft stepper motors are installed.
