WW Collet Sets
Collets provide a quick, easy method of mounting cylindrical parts or bar stock in the lathe with a great deal of centering accuracy. Each collet is actually a small, precision 3-jaw chuck that fits into a special tapered adapter in the headstock. A drawbar that passes through the headstock and threads into the backside of the collet is used to draw the collet up into the tapered adapter. The adapter causes the jaws of the collet to close down, gripping the part to be machined. Typically, collets provide a very accurate part mounting system, but each size collet can accommodate only a small range of diameters of approximately ±.001" (.02mm).
WW collets differ from milling collets in that they have a hole all the way through the collet and drawbar. The maximum diameter stock that can pass entirely through the collet is 3/16" or 4.5mm. The WW collets that are larger than this diameter are sometimes referred to as "pot" chucks.The Sherline WW collet set includes a WW style collet taper adapter, a drawbar, and a set of five WW collets. These collets are manufactured by Sherline and are built to standard WW specifications; however, we have come across collets that are called WW and will not fit our drawbar and adapter. Be sure to check WW collets made by other manufacturers to be sure they fit our adapter before you purchase them. Sherline manufactures a slightly larger .315" adapter and drawbar set that will accommodate some of these other brands.
Collet AccuracyThese collets have a maximum runout of .002" or less. If the WW collet adapter is trued in as suggested in the instructions, it will run dead true. This will allow the collet runout to be at its best. Collet sizes above 3/16" (4.5mm), considered pot chucks, are not bored through. They are only bored .260" deep and depending on your setup and length of the part, you may experience greater runout further away from the front of the collet.
5-piece collet set includes:Other Collet Sets
Sherline also offers sets that include a wider selection of collets. It includes 17-inch size collets from 1/16 to 5/16", while the metric set includes 14 metric collets from 1.5 mm to 8.0 mm. These sets come in an oak box with a divider that has extra holes for more collets should you add them later. It also includes a drawbar, a collet adapter, knockout bar, two collet pot chucks, and a collet blank.
The largest set we offer includes 78 collets from 0.3 mm to 8.0 mm by 0.1 mm increments. This comes in an oak box with 96 holes in case you add some inch sizes but does not include the adapter, drawbar or other accessory items in the sets described above.

Machinist’s Parallel Bar Set
Parallel bars are precision-ground spacers used to elevate a workpiece by a known height while maintaining perfect parallelism with the machine table. This set includes five matched pairs made from 1018 steel, each measuring 2-1/2" long and 1/16" thick, with the following heights: 1/4" • 3/8" • 1/2" • 5/8" • 3/4"
Unlike the imported parallels previously offered, these are manufactured in-house by Sherline. Each bar is waterjet cut from 1/16" 1018 steel, ground to precise height tolerances, and finished with a durable black oxide coating to resist corrosion. This set reflects Sherline’s commitment to accuracy, quality, and American-made craftsmanship.

Headstock Class 5 Bearing
Our Class 5 (C5) bearings are lifetime-lubricated and feature an adjustable preload for optimal performance. These precision bearings provide superior accuracy, tighter tolerances, smoother and quieter operation, and cooler running temperatures. The bearings are factory-set with a preload of .0002", rated for continuous operation up to approximately 4,000 RPM. For higher-speed applications, up to 10,000 RPM, a slightly looser preload of .0003" may be required.
We do not recommend customers attempt to replace the headstock bearings themselves. Proper bearing installation requires the use of specialized fixtures to ensure perfect spindle and bearing alignment.
If you are unable to press the bearings in yourself, you may return your headstock to our facility for professional replacement. Please contact our customer service department at kim@sherline.com to obtain an RMA number before sending your headstock in for service.
Note: Service fees apply.

Mill Collet Set
Sherline milling collets are specifically designed for use with the Morse #1 internal taper, which is standard on both the Sherline lathe and vertical mill. Due to the shallow angle of the Morse #1 taper, tightening the drawbolt results in significantly greater clamping force compared to WW collets. For this reason, we recommend using these milling collets to securely hold miniature end mills (with 3/16" or 1/4" shanks), #1 and smaller center drills, Dremel® bits (1/8" shank), and a variety of other small cutters.
Inch Mill Collet Set: 1/8", 3/16", 1/4"
Metric Mill Collet Set: 3 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm
Note: Tools held in these collets must have a shank diameter within .001" of the stated size. Because of the shallow taper, the collet will remain tight in the spindle even after loosening the drawbolt. To release it, back the drawbolt out a few turns and tap it lightly to free the collet.
⚠️ CAUTION: When tightening the collet drawbolt with a Tommy bar, be careful not to insert the bar too far into the spindle. Doing so can damage the collet’s taper area. The red arrow in the image below shows an example of this type of damage.

Sherline MB Vise Fixture
The Sherline MB Vise Fixture is designed to locate directly in the T-slots of our mill tables and tooling plates. By aligning the fixed and movable jaws in the T-slots, your mill table or tooling plate becomes the base for the fixture - maximizing usable table length. This setup allows you to securely hold and machine much larger or irregularly shaped parts than traditional vises can accommodate.
Workholding Versatility
The MB Vise Fixture supports a wide range of part shapes through the use of two different sets of interchangeable top jaws:
For square and rectangular stock use the standard top jaws with either:
For round or irregularly shaped material:
Use the MB Versagrip Top Jaws, which fit the same fixed and movable base plates. These jaws accept the MB Versagrip Vise Jaw Inserts by Mitee-Bite. The ¾" round inserts can be rotated within any insert pocket to match and grip a wide variety of part geometries securely.
