Following is a list of popular Sherline accessories for the
mill and a brief description of their purpose. Part numbers
for inch sizes are listed first with metric part numbers (when
different) in parenthesis.
1187 Chuck-to-T-Slot Adapter—Slips in either
T-slot on mill table and a 3- or 4-jaw chuck
can be screwed down to hold parts for milling.
(Shown upside down.)
1297 Mill Headstock Spacer Block—Extends
headstock 1.25" (31.8mm) further out to
reach areas that otherwise could not be
machined without changing your setup. Laser engraved
scale for angle milling. Includes additional precision
alignment key.
2045 Index block set—A hex block and an
octagonal block make quick work of simple
indexing operations involving 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8
increments. Internal Morse #1 taper and external threads
accept all Sherline chucks and collets for holding parts.
3012 Hold-down Set—Two strap clamps plus
T-Nuts and a selection of bolts to provide a
versatile method of clamping work to the mill
table. See also the newer P/N 3013 step block hold-down
set shown in Figure 72, page 38.
3055 Morse #1 Blank—Made from free-
machining steel. Make your own custom tool
holders. Drill, tap or slot this blank to fit your
custom needs.
3058 4-Jaw Hold-down Set—Two T-nuts, bolts
and clamps to mount a Sherline 4-jaw chuck
in just about any location on the mill table for holding parts.
(Included with mill vise and rotary table.)
3065 Slitting Saw Holder—Holds jeweler’s
circular slitting saw blades for machining thin
slots.
3080 End Mill Set—Three 3-flute end mills,
sizes 1/8", 3/16" and 1/4". All have 1/4" shank.
Other sizes are available individually, see the “Cutting tools
price list.”
3200 Indexing Attachment—Cut gears of any
number of teeth or drill precise hole patterns.
The indexing head and tailstock are mounted
on a 12" dovetailed bed. Includes a gear cutter
holder and cutting tool blank. The head detents every 5°
of rotation or a special rack gear allows division of a circle
into any number of increments by measuring rack length.
3230-3236 Mill Cutter Arbors—Available in
7/8" or 1" I.D. sizes and long or short lengths,
these arbors are designed to hold round
milling cutters.
3500 Rotary Column Attachment—Allows the
mill column to be rotated up to 90° either
way side-to-side so that angled drilling or
milling can be accomplished.
3559 90° Angle Plate—This useful work-
holding fixture can be used to hold parts on
either surface, and parts can also be held from
two directions at once. It is 3-5/8" x 3-5/8" x
10" and has T-slots on both surfaces.
3560 Mill Tooling Plate—Cast aluminum plate
milled to 1/2" thick provides a versatile method
of clamping parts to the table. Use existing
threaded 10-32 holes or drill and tap your own as needed.
Protects the table surface and also adds stiffness to the
mill table. Includes mounting bolts and T-nuts.
3570 Rotating Vise Base—When mounting the
mill vise to the table, this base will allow the
vise to be rotated to any angle. The red
anodized base is laser engraved with angle
measurements in 1° increments all the way around.
XY Bases—Mill base and table only. If you
already have a lathe and vertical milling
column, this is all you need to make up a
complete mill at less cost. Available in
standard 10" base (P/N 5200/5210), 10" base with adjustable
handwheels (P/N 5220/5225) or deluxe 12" base with laser
engraved scales and adjustable handwheels (P/N 5401/
5411). The 2000-series 14" base is also available (P/N 5600/
5610) so that an 8-way column can be added to make it a
complete 2000-series mill. Uses lathe motor and speed
control.
XYZ Bases—A complete 3-axis mill less the
headstock, motor and speed control. Available
in standard 10" base (P/N 5201/5211), 10"
base with adjustable handwheels (P/N 5230/
5235) or deluxe 12" base with laser engraved
scales and adjustable handwheels (P/N 5420/
5430). The 8-way 2000-series mill base and
column is available as well (P/N 5625/5630).
