The Sherline Manual 14-Inch 8-direction Benchtop Mill (Metric) (EU) is a highly versatile milling machine designed for precision and flexibility in miniature machining tasks. This deluxe model offers an extensive range of movement, allowing the headstock spindle to be positioned in eight different directions. The headstock can pivot up to 90 degrees in either direction, while the column bed can rotate side-to-side, also up to 90 degrees, enabling angled drilling. Additionally, a special knuckle allows the column to pivot front to rear, and the ram design of the column base permits side-to-side pivoting. The column cap can be loosened to move the ram in and out, providing over five inches of travel. These features collectively offer virtually limitless machining possibilities within the machine's size capabilities.
The 14-inch long base of this benchtop mill increases the Y-axis travel by an additional two inches compared to other models, making it ideal for those seeking to enhance their miniature machining capabilities. Despite its compact desktop size, this machine delivers full-size precision and accuracy, capable of cutting wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel parts with rigidity and accuracy. The machine is equipped with a powerful 90-volt DC motor and an electronic speed controller, ensuring smooth operation across a wide range of speeds.
This benchtop mill is crafted in the USA, reflecting high standards of quality and precision. It features resettable, zero adjustable handwheels on the X-, Y-, and Z-axes, with laser-engraved aluminum collars for precise adjustments. The table is equipped with T-slots for secure workpiece holding, and the machine includes a variety of accessories such as a drill chuck, Morse arbor, and drawbolt. The inclusion of oil reservoirs on the X/Y and Z axes ensures that critical parts remain well-lubricated during operation.
