The mill is powered by a high-torque 90V DC motor with electronic speed control, allowing for a continuously variable speed range from 70 to 2800 RPM, adaptable to various machining needs without the necessity for gear or belt changes.

The Sherline mill is compact yet capable, making it ideal for producing small, precision parts from materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its desktop size, it offers the precision and accuracy of a full-size machine. The package includes a range of 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, all of which enhance the machine’s functionality and versatility.

The mill’s design incorporates oil reservoirs on the X/Y axes and the Z-axis, which help maintain lubrication of critical parts, a feature initially developed for CNC machines but beneficial for manual machines as well. Additionally, a brass leadscrew cover protects the rear of the Y-axis leadscrew from debris. The machine’s construction and features make it a reliable choice for those seeking precision and quality in their milling projects.

Note: When working with brass or wood, it is advisable to use the toggle switch dust cover to extend the life of the motor and speed control.
