The Sherline Manual 18-Inch NexGen Benchtop Mill Package A (Inch) (EU) is a sophisticated milling machine designed to enhance machining capabilities with its expansive work area and robust construction. This model is the largest vertical milling machine offered by Sherline, developed in response to the growing demand for larger part production in industrial, laboratory, and educational settings. The machine features an extended mill base, a longer crosslide table, and an elongated mill column, providing increased capacity compared to previous models.
The design of the NexGen mill emphasizes rigidity and precision, with a reinforced column base that enhances stability during heavy cutting operations. The column's ability to rotate 90 degrees to the left and right, along with in/out adjustments, allows for versatile movement in seven directions, including X, Y, Z, and headstock rotation. This flexibility makes it suitable for producing small, precision parts from materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel.
Equipped with a powerful 90V DC motor and an electronic speed controller, the mill ensures precise control over spindle speeds, ranging from 70 to 2800 RPM. The machine's compact desktop size belies its full-size machine precision and accuracy, making it an ideal choice for those requiring high-quality machining in a limited space.
The package includes essential accessories such as a step block hold-down set, a 5/32-inch Sherline hex T-driver, a 3-piece center drill set, a fly cutter with a carbide bit, a 3-piece mill collet set with a drawbolt, a 6-piece 3/8-inch 2-flute double-ended end mill set, a 3/8-inch end mill holder, and a milling vise. These components enhance the machine's functionality and versatility, allowing users to tackle a wide range of milling tasks with ease.
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.
