Caution: Wear eye protection for safety
The Sherline Micro Grinder Tool Post is designed to securely hold a high-speed grinder on a lathe, facilitating tasks such as polishing and fine grinding. This tool post ensures that the grinder body is aligned with the lathe's center, allowing for precise machining operations. It is compatible with riser blocks, providing flexibility in various machining setups. The tool post is particularly beneficial for applications requiring high rotational speeds, such as engraving, where it supports the use of extremely small, pointed tools to achieve superior finishes and efficient feed rates. The high-speed engraving spindle, which is sold separately, can reach speeds up to 54,000 RPM and accommodates 1/8-inch diameter cutting tools. The spindle is securely held in place within the tool post by a lateral screw, ensuring stability during operation. While the grinder is adept at delivering fine finishes on hard materials, it is not intended for heavy material removal due to its limited torque. Note: Extreme caution is advised as carbide tools rotate at high speeds, posing a risk of shattering; therefore, robust eye protection is essential during use.
