Sherline 3050

Vertical Milling Column (Inch)

$189.75* Special Order

With this attachment the Sherline lathe can be quickly and easily converted into a small milling machine. The attachment consists of a steel dovetailed vertical column with a solid aluminum base that attaches to the bed of the lathe in place of the headstock. The headstock then mounts to a dovetailed saddle on the vertical column. The saddle is raised and lowered to control the depth of cut by turning a handwheel. Calibrations on the handwheel enable depth control to .001" (.01mm). Parts to be machined are mounted on the crosslide. On the deluxe version, P/N 3480 (3485 Metric), a 2-1/2" adjustable "zero" handwheel replaces the standard handwheel. If you order a CNC-ready version of the vertical milling column, P/N 3050-CNC (3053-CNC) it is fitted with a stepper motor mount and coupling ready for the installation of a NEMA 23 frame size stepper motor. For use with our recommended dual shaft motors we also include a handwheel for manual control. The mount includes two flanged ball bearings and a preload nut to eliminate end play.

This is a good way to get into milling. Most standard vertical milling operations can be performed with this attachment, with only size being the basic limitation. Conversion from the lathe to milling takes less than one minute. Almost all Sherline milling accessories may be used with the setup. At a later date, should you wish to upgrade to a complete vertical milling machine, the column will fit the Sherline XY bases (P/N 5200/5210, or 5401/5411). This offers a cost savings compared to purchasing a complete vertical milling machine, because you save the cost of a second headstock, motor and speed control.
