The Sherline Manual 12-Inch Deluxe Tabletop Mill (Inch) is a highly regarded milling machine, renowned for its precision and versatility. This model features a robust 12-inch solid aluminum base, which enhances the Y-axis travel by an additional 2 inches. The machine is equipped with laser-engraved scales on both the table and base, ensuring precise measurements and adjustments. The Z-axis is fitted with a 2-1/2 inch zero adjustable handwheel, while the X- and Y-axes each have 2-inch zero adjustable handwheels, allowing for meticulous control over milling operations.

The mill is powered by a high-torque 90V DC motor with electronic speed control, offering a continuously variable speed range from 70 to 2800 RPM. This feature eliminates the need for gear or belt changes, providing seamless operation. Additionally, a secondary pulley position is available to deliver extra torque at lower RPMs when required.

Designed for producing small, precision parts, the Sherline mill is capable of cutting a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its compact desktop size, it delivers the precision and accuracy typically associated with full-size machines. The mill includes a headstock spacer to increase throat distance, a 1/4-inch drill chuck, and a drawbolt, making it a comprehensive tool for various milling tasks.

Note: Ensure proper use of the toggle switch dust cover when working with brass or wood to protect the motor and speed control from dust and debris.
