NEW PRODUCT (JULY 2020)
Rear-Mount Tool Holder P/N 7604
This tool holder is designed to hold 3/8″ square tools on the “back” side of the part. The rear-mount tool holder is slightly taller than our standard #7600 Tool Post, allowing the tool to be mounted upside down and used on the backside of the crosslide. The round hole is for holding boring tools on center (tools not included).
The photo shows #7600 insert holder tool post, with a threading tool, on the “front” side of the part, while #7604 rear-mount tool holder, with a 55° RH carbide tool, is shown on the “back” side of the part.

- Control our spindle speed with g-code
- Optical encoder
- Single-point threading
- Accurate RPM readout
- Limit switches
- Homing ability for each axis
- WiFi communication
- Regular software upgrades
This Sherline/MASSO controller is taking the place of our PC, which is becoming antiquated and very difficult to find motherboards and very difficult for which to find compatible parts.

NEW PRODUCT! (November 2018)
Laser-Engraving Pin Chuck Jaws
Our new laser-engraving pin chuck jaws were developed as a result of requests from our laser marking customers who wanted increased holding diameters. The jaw tops are flat, which gives you a surface to locate your parts against. The short pin jaws (P/N 11414L) can hold round parts up to 3.7″ (94mm) OD and as small as .54″ (13.7mm) ID, while the extended pin jaws (P/N 11413L) can hold parts up to 6″ (153mm) OD and as small as .66″ (16.7mm) ID. The extended jaws are made up of a set of hardened master jaws and extended top jaws.
Each set of jaws has three pin hole locations that hold 3/16″ hard-steel dowel pins, and the pins come in 1″ and 1.5″ lengths, both in sets of three. These thicker 3/16″ pins are for heavier industrial usage.
Click on the following links to learn more about our new laser-engraving pin chuck jaws.*
P/N 11414L Short Laser Pin Chuck Jaws
P/N 11413L Extended Laser Pin Chuck Jaws
*NOTE: These jaws are not designed for machining parts or other uses that require more than finger tight closing pressure to hold the part in the chuck.

Electroless Nickel Plated Spindle Headstock P/N 30101
Customers have often asked if we will ever offer a stainless steel spindle in our headstocks. The short answer is, “No.” However, we are now producing a spindle based on our standard headstock that has an Electroless Nickel Plated Spindle with a 3/4″ x 16 T.P.I. This coating offers a hard surface that is rustproof. We believe that this is a cost-effective alternative to using stainless steel. The spindle is available separately, in a headstock, or with a full headstock and motor assembly.

High-Torque Stepper Motors P/N 67126
Our new, high-torque stepper motor has the same NEMA #23 frame as our standard stepper motor, but it has over 75% more torque. The increased torque means that you can increase your feed rates, and it is also better suited to handle the additional weight of the motor and headstock on our Z-axis.
The high-torque stepper motors can also be used on any Sherline CNC machine. The motor is 2 amps, just like our standard motors, so you can easily upgrade your current Sherline system with the new high-torque motors. (For example, Sherline Complete CNC systems, P/N 8760 CNC 4-axis driver box kit, or any of our CNC upgrade kits.)
ATTENTION: This new high-torque stepper motor requires a special CNC coupling (P/N 671052, sold separately).

Nickel-Teflon Coated Rotary Tables with 15/32″ Through-Hole
We have recently released a new set of 4″ rotary tables designed with our industrial users in mind. These industrial versions of Sherline rotary tables have a larger through-hole and a Nickel-Teflon plating on the table surface.
Our industrial customers wanted a rotary table that could hold larger stock and stand up to everyday use. The through-hole on these new rotary tables is 15/32″ (.469″) compared to our standard rotary tables which have a 5/16″ (.316″) through hole, and the Nickel-Teflon coating gives the table a rust-resistant surface that is hard and has added lubrication qualities.
The tables include a chuck adapter (P/N 37097) that has a 3/4-16 thread for the chuck and a 5/8-24 thread for the rotary table, and there is a .6485″ c’bore at the entrance of the 5/8-24 thread which is used to locate the adapter concentric to the rotary table. Like our standard rotary tables, they also include a set of two hold-down clamps and T-nuts for mounting to various surfaces.
These new rotary tables are available in manual (P/N 3710), CNC-ready (P/N 3710-CNC), and full CNC (P/Ns 8711 and 8731) configurations, just like our standard 4″ rotary tables.

Multi-Tool Holders
These new multi-tool holders were designed to complement our four position, gang-tooling tool posts (P/N 5930 or P/N 5935). They can be used in conjunction with the gang-tooling tool post, or on its own for our customers who want to convert their Sherline lathe into a “Chucker Lathe” or gang-tooling lathe.
The front-side tool holders hold up to two, round boring tools, and a slot for holding turning, grooving or threading tools. P/N 5932 has (2) 3/8″ holes to hold boring bars, drill chucks, or tool bushings, and a slot to hold a 3/8″ lathe cutting tool with two locking screws for each tool. We also offer a tool post (P/N 5937) that has (2) 5/8″ holes for those wanting to use ER16 collet holders with a 5/8″ shank.
The rear-side cutoff tool holders are similar to the front-side tool holders, but they have a slot for holding a cutoff tool blade (P/N 30860). Using the holder as a rear mounted cutoff tool allows you to use the cutoff tool from the back side of the part. P/N 5931 has 3/8″ holes, and P/N 5936 has 5/8″ holes.

Aluminum Replacement Pie Jaws P/N 11454-4P
This replacement set of aluminum pie jaws, P/N 11454-4P, was designed to give our customers the option of pie jaws that are made from a softer material than our P/N 1143-4P steel replacement pie jaws. Because they are aluminum, they can be used with our 1076 chuck. However, we still recommend using them with our 1076C because of the hardness of the nickel and the lubricating properties of the Teflon.
The primary advantage of the aluminum jaws is that the aluminum is easier to machine, and it offers a material that will not scratch or dent softer parts.

With the 3C collet, our customers can now hold stock up to 1/2″ diameter that will pass through the headstock. The 3C Collet Headstock includes a 1″ spindle wrench (shank and collet not included, shown for reference only).

NEW PRODUCT! (February 2016)
Riser Plate for 8″ Crosslide P/N 1294
We designed the headstock riser plate P/N 12940 at the request of several of our customers who replaced our 6″ crosslide with the thicker 8″ crosslide P/N 60880 (manual) and P/N 67036 (CNC). Most of these customers are using our lathe as a chucker lathe with gang tooling. By using this riser plate, we have raised the headstock to match the additional thickness of the 8″ crosslide. Therefore, all of our standard tool posts will now be on centerline with the headstock.

Rigid Mill Column Bases for 2000 Mills P/N 5605 (Short), P/N 5606 (Tall)
For those who want the versatility of Sherline’s 2000/2010 mill column with it’s large work area and multiple directions of movement but have experienced unwanted column rotation during extreme machining loads on the 2000 mill, this new column offers another option. The one-piece column absolutely prevents that from happening, although you do give up the ability to rotate the column ram from side-to-side.

Starting in November, 2015 Sherline Products is proud to introduce its latest Vertical Milling machine. With the increase of popularity of Sherline mills in industrial, laboratory, and school training environments the need to produce larger parts has led to the development of an extended capacity milling machine.

The new NexGen Mill has the following standard features:
- Extra-Rigid Column Base
- 15″ Extended Column Bed

- 18″ Mill Base
- 7″ x 13″ Tooling Plate (3 T-slots, Alignment Pins)
- Y-axis covers—Mill Accordion Way Cover Set and extended 12″ brass rear leadscrew cover
Other standard features include oilers on the X-, Y- and Z-axes to keep the column leadscrew and base saddle leadscrews and ways lubricated during extended CNC operations. In addition, backlash is adjustable on X-, Y- and Z-axes. Adjustable tapered plastic gibs provide a way to accommodate wear on the aluminum and steel dovetailed slides on all three axes.

NEW PRODUCT! (September 2015)
Lathe Headstock Hard Stop Kit P/N 40116
Starting in August, 2015 every Sherline headstock now includes the holes to add an optional hard stop. A hole through the headstock base allows the hard stop rod to be set to contact the lathe table, providing a hard stop for the Z axis during turning operations. For those who have an older Sherline lathe and want to add the hard stop, the kit includes instructions with dimensions on where your headstock case will need to be drilled to accept the rod and locking thumbscrew. Kit includes 4″ hard stop rod, 8″ hard stop rod and a 10-32 x 5/8” thumbscrew (lathe headstock purchased separately).
