Discover Sherline’s CNC-Ready Ball Screw Mills, designed to provide exceptional precision and performance for your CNC projects. Featuring advanced ball screw technology, these mills minimize backlash and enhance accuracy, making them ideal for intricate machining tasks. Perfect for hobbyists and professionals alike, each CNC-ready model allows for easy integration with stepper motors, offering the flexibility and reliability needed for high-quality machining.

Sherline Ball Screw milling machines are capable of cutting metal, wood, and plastic, and are available in two sizes: tabletop mills with 12″ bases and benchtop mills with 14″ and 18″ bases. All Ball Screw milling machines feature a metric pitch, with handwheel dials displaying numeric graduations of 2 mm per revolution and 0.02 mm per line.

Proudly manufactured in the USA, our mini-mills are backed by unparalleled customer service. Despite their compact size, these mills deliver high-quality precision parts, combining the convenience of desktop milling with the accuracy and performance of full-size machines.

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.
