The Sherline CNC-Ready Mill Upgrade Kit for 5100/5410, Y Axis Motor Mount Kit (Metric) is designed to convert existing Sherline vertical mills to CNC-ready status. This conversion process involves drilling and tapping several holes to securely attach the stepper motor mounts. The kit provides drill blocks that are affixed to the appropriate table or bed using an existing hole, facilitating the drilling of two new holes with precision. These newly drilled holes are then tapped, allowing for the installation of the new mount. Additionally, the mill column requires the installation of a new leadscrew to complete the conversion. Comprehensive instructions are included to guide users through the conversion process.

The Y-Axis upgrade kit specifically includes a stepper motor mount, two stepper motor preload bearings, and a CNC coupling. This setup ensures that the machine is prepared for the attachment of stepper motors, enabling CNC control through a system that the user must provide. The kit is an essential component for those seeking to enhance the functionality and precision of their Sherline mills by integrating CNC capabilities.
