The Sherline Lathe Multi-Direction Vertical Milling Column – DRO – Inch  offers a versatile solution for enhancing the capabilities of a lathe by transforming it into an 8-direction mill. This innovative column allows for comprehensive movement, including swinging, rotating, tilting, and moving in and out, enabling machining or drilling from virtually any angle. It is designed to be mounted on a Model 4000 lathe, providing a cost-effective approach to achieving the functionality of a full mill without the need for an additional headstock and motor unit.

The column features a new oil reservoir on the saddle nut, ensuring the leadscrew remains well-lubricated, which enhances the longevity and performance of the equipment. The conversion process from lathe to milling is efficient, taking less than one minute, and the setup is compatible with nearly all Sherline milling accessories, broadening the range of possible machining operations.

This product is particularly advantageous for those looking to incrementally expand their machining capabilities, as it allows for gradual investment in additional components like the Deluxe XY base. This flexibility makes it an economical choice for both novice and experienced machinists seeking to adapt their equipment to meet evolving project demands.
