The Sherline 18-Inch NexGen Benchtop Mill Package A CNC Ready (Inch) (EU) is a sophisticated milling machine designed for precision machining tasks, suitable for both professional and hobbyist applications. This benchtop mill offers a generous work area and enhanced structural rigidity, facilitating seamless integration with CNC systems. It is engineered to produce high-quality precision parts from a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel, despite its compact desktop size.
This CNC-ready mill is equipped with factory-installed stepper motor mounts, allowing for the addition of stepper motors and computer numeric controls. It is important to note that while the machine is CNC-ready, it requires the installation of stepper motors, a computer, and CNC software to be fully operational. The machine includes handwheels for each axis, which can be used for manual control once dual-shaft stepper motors are installed.
The mill features a powerful 90V DC motor with an electronic speed controller, providing a spindle speed range from 70 to 2800 RPM. The extended mill table and column bed, along with the extra-rigid column base, contribute to its precision and stability. The mill also includes a variety of accessories such as a step block hold-down set, a milling vise, and a set of end mills, enhancing its versatility for different machining tasks.
Note: CNC-ready machines cannot be operated manually unless double-shaft stepper motors are installed.
