The Sherline Vertical Milling Table w/DRO Handwheel – 1184 (Metric) is an innovative accessory designed to enhance the milling capabilities of a Sherline lathe. This vertical milling table allows parts to be mounted directly onto it, which is then affixed to the lathe’s crosslide table. This setup enables the part to be maneuvered past a cutter that is held in the lathe spindle, facilitating three axes of cutting similar to a traditional mill, albeit with different directional movements and shorter X and Y axes.

While the vertical milling column is generally recommended for comprehensive milling tasks on a lathe, this vertical milling table serves as a compact and versatile alternative for specific configurations. It is particularly beneficial for hobbyists and those working with larger lathes, as many instructional books for enthusiasts illustrate similar setups. Additionally, this accessory can function as a practical fixture for executing multiple movements when employed on a mill or other specialized machinery.
