Important Update Regarding Sherline Products
October 20, 2026
We would like to share an encouraging development regarding the future of Sherline Products.
We are currently in discussions with an American manufacturer regarding the potential purchase of Sherline’s intellectual property and remaining inventory. The goal of this proposed acquisition is to preserve and revitalize the Sherline brand while providing continued availability of replacement parts, accessories, and machines for our valued customers.
As these discussions progress, we have agreed to temporarily suspend accepting new orders, effective October 19, 2026. This will allow us to preserve our remaining inventory while negotiations are underway.
Although no final agreement has been reached, we are hopeful that this opportunity will provide a positive path forward for the Sherline name and the customers who have trusted our products for more than five decades.
We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued loyalty during this transition. We will share additional information as soon as it becomes available.
Our greatest hope is that the Sherline legacy of quality, precision, and American craftsmanship will continue for generations to come.

SKU: N/A Categories: , Tag:

Product Description

The Sherline vertical mill can be purchased without the headstock and motor/speed control. This allows lathe owners to swap the headstock and motor/speed control from their lathe to the mill in approximately 60 seconds. This package offers a savings of about 28-30% when compared to the price of our standard mill.

About the 10″ XYZ Base

The 10″ Mill XYZ base is the same base used in our 5000-series mill. It has a 10″ base with stepper motor mounts  installed on the X-, Y- and Z-axes ready for the installation of stepper motors. (Stepper motors not included, see the STEPPER MOTOR page.)

Travel: X=8.65″ (220 mm), Y= 3.0″ (76 mm), Z=6.25″ (159 mm)

CNC-Ready XYZ Bases

Any Sherline mill XYZ base can be ordered with stepper motor mounts installed on the X-, Y- and Z-axes ready for the installation of stepper motors. (Stepper motors not included, see the STEPPER MOTOR page.) Included with the CNC-ready XYZ bases are three low mass 1-5/8″ handwheels. If using Sherline or other dual shaft stepper motors, the handwheels can be mounted to the rear shaft to provide manual control in addition to CNC control. (NOTE: Manual control is not possible on CNC-ready bases until a dual shaft stepper motor has been installed. Handwheels cannot be installed directly onto the stepper motor mounts.) These slides have been popular items in the industry to control movement in small production line processes, and the addition of computer control extends the possibilities for automation. Travels of each of these CNC-ready bases are the same as for the manually controlled versions shown above.

NOTE: CNC-ready machines cannot be operated manually until stepper motors are installed.
