Important Update Regarding Sherline Products
October 20, 2026
We would like to share an encouraging development regarding the future of Sherline Products.
We are currently in discussions with an American manufacturer regarding the potential purchase of Sherline’s intellectual property and remaining inventory. The goal of this proposed acquisition is to preserve and revitalize the Sherline brand while providing continued availability of replacement parts, accessories, and machines for our valued customers.
As these discussions progress, we have agreed to temporarily suspend accepting new orders, effective October 19, 2026. This will allow us to preserve our remaining inventory while negotiations are underway.
Although no final agreement has been reached, we are hopeful that this opportunity will provide a positive path forward for the Sherline name and the customers who have trusted our products for more than five decades.
We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued loyalty during this transition. We will share additional information as soon as it becomes available.
Our greatest hope is that the Sherline legacy of quality, precision, and American craftsmanship will continue for generations to come.

5C 3″ 4-Jaw Independent Chuck
5C collets are a standard in many machine shops, but there are times when the exact size collet isn’t available or when a part requires the versatility of a 4-jaw chuck. This compact 3.1” 4-jaw chuck with a 5C back allows for a fast and easy transition from collet to chuck without disassembling your setup or switching machines. Simply remove the collet and insert this chuck into your existing 5C collet holder. Switching back to collets is just as quick.
The 5C back features the standard taper, thread, and keyway, and is CNC-machined from a single billet of steel to ensure perfect concentricity between the back and the chuck body. The chuck includes reversible jaws and a chuck key for convenient adjustments.
Note: 5C collets are commonly used with full-size machines. This chuck is designed for use on full-size equipment, like those in our shop, and is not compatible with Sherline lathes.
