The Sherline Mill Tooling Plate Instructions provide guidance for utilizing a tooling plate designed to enhance the functionality and versatility of milling machines. This tooling plate serves to protect the mill's table from potential damage while simultaneously adding stiffness to the setup. It offers a modifiable surface that is as flat as the original table, allowing for secure clamping of workpieces. The tooling plate is crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum, ensuring durability and precision, and is 3/4 inch thick, providing a robust platform for various machining tasks.
This tooling plate measures 7 inches by 18 inches, offering a larger work surface compared to the standard 7-inch by 13-inch plate. It features an extensive pattern of 10-32 holes on 1-inch centers, along with three T-slots milled along its long axis, which enhance its mounting capabilities. These features facilitate the attachment of the Sherline mill vise or rotary table, and users are encouraged to drill additional holes as needed to accommodate specific clamping and setup requirements.
The tooling plate is primarily designed for use with the 5800 NexGen mill, significantly expanding its machining area. It can also be adapted for use with the 2000 mill, although with some limitations on the Y-axis travel. The plate is not limited to Sherline tools and can be utilized with larger machines, making it a versatile addition to any workshop. The package includes mounting screws, T-nuts, and steel pins to assist in the precise alignment and secure attachment of workpieces.
