Sherline 5000 Mill Assembly Instructions

-27-
1292 Tailstock riser block—Raises tailstock 1.25"
(31.7 mm) to align it with headstock when using
the P/N 1291 riser block.
2049 Spindle handwheel— Steel handwheel
mounts on the end of the spindle shaft and
allows the operator to quickly and safely stop a
rotating spindle with his hand. It also makes it
easy to hand index the spindle when working on a part.
2085 (WW) and 2086 (8mm) collet adapters—Held
in P/N 1203 adjustable tool holder above (not
included), collet adapters allow you to use WW
or 8.0 mm collets in the tailstock to hold small drills
accurately on center.
2200 Radius cutting attachment—Mounts
to lathe table. The body pivots on
centers to allow the tool to cut a
concave or convex radius or ball end
on the end of a part.
2250 Quick-change tool post—
Steel tool post has a dovetail slide
that accepts various holders to
allow rapid tool changes. Holders
include a 1/4" standard cutting tool holder, 3/8" boring tool
holder and cutoff tool holder. An optional inserted tip carbide
holder (not shown) is also available (P/N 2295).
2258 35° RH and LH insert tool holders—
3/8" square shaft tool holders accept 55°
carbide inserts. Available individually as
right-hand (P/N 2256) and left-hand
(P/N 2257) holders or as a pair (P/N 2258). Carbide insert
included with each.
3001 Power feed—A constant speed, single-
direction motor with on/off switch drives the
leadscrew at .9" per minute. A lever below
the headstock engages and disengages the
drive. Saves a lot of hand cranking on long parts and provides
smooth finishes.
3003 Two-position tool post—Save time by
mounting two 1/4" cutting tools at once so you
can switch quickly from one to the other by
rotating the tool post. (P/N 3008 looks similar
but holds a 5/16" and a 3/8" tool.)
3004 Knurling tool—Mounts to the lathe crosslide.
Knurls are produced by embossing, not by cutting,
and this creates high tool loads. Using two knurls
opposing each other equalizes these loads,
allowing successful knurling on a small machine.
A number of patterns can be achieved by changing the
knurls. A 25 thread per inch, medium diamond pattern set
comes with the tool. A number of additional straight and
spiral knurls can be ordered.
3015 Toggle switch dust cover—Protects on/off
switch on speed control from fine dust generated
by cutting brass or wood.
3016 Cutoff tool rear mounting block—Allows the
parting tool holder (P/N 3002) to be used on the
back side of the table. The cutoff tool blade is
turned upside down in the holder and this 13/16"
high spacer block keeps the tool’s cutting point at the lathe’s
centerline. A cutoff tool can remain mounted out of the
way on back side of table and be brought into use quickly
for cutoff operations.
3035 Spur Driver—A simple way to drive wood
from the headstock in place of a 3-jaw chuck.
3038, 3047 Wood Tool Rests—Allows wood turning
on the lathe using hand-held wood cutting tools.
Includes base with 3" and 5" long rests.
3050 (3053) Vertical Milling Column—Mounts in
seconds to provide three axes of movement to
turn your lathe into a milling machine. Your lathe’s
headstock and motor/speed control mount to a
saddle on the column. Z-axis column provides
the same 6.25" (159 mm) vertical travel available
on the Sherline milling machine.
3057 Rocker Tool Post—Allows exact control of tool
tip height in relation to part centerline. Tips of older,
resharpened cutting tools can be adjusted up to
proper cutting height without having to use shims.
4150 (15") and 4151 (24") Vinyl Dust Covers—Clear 6-mil fitted
cover protects your lathe from grit and dust when not in
use. Adds a professional touch to your miniature machine
shop. Includes a red Sherline logo.
4360 Chip Guard—A clear, tough
polycarbonate shield mounts to the
headstock to contain chips and cutting
fluids near the chuck. Swings out of the
way for changing setups.
8200/8260 Digital Readout—Add a two-
axis digital readout to any new or existing
lathe. Also includes continuous RPM
readout. Reads to .0005". Reset display
to zero with the push of a button. Special
handwheels replace standard handwheels. Available with
third axis readout for use with a vertical milling column.
CNC-Ready Lathes—Existing Sherline lathes can be converted
to CNC use, or new lathes can be ordered CNC ready.
Included are stepper motor mounts with preloaded bearings
and couplers. (Does not include stepper motor or CNC
hardware or software.)
8800 Programmable Power
Feed—Drive your lathe
leadscrew and/or crosslide with
a stepper motor. Two units can
be “daisy-chained” for co-
ordinated sequential move-
ments. Retrofit kits available
with or without stepper motor
mount. Includes stepper motor, cables, control box and
power supply.
