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.

Mill Extended Headstock Spacer Block

SKU: 1299 Category:

Product Description

 

Having the option to extend the headstock further out can sometimes allow surfaces to be machined that could not otherwise be reached without breaking down the setup and re-clamping the part. The spacer moves the spindle out an additional 2-1/2″. This is twice as far as the standard spacer block. Making it in one piece rather than stacking up two standard spacer blocks increases the mill’s rigidity and accuracy. It is much easier to increase your machinable surface area by using this spacer than to re-clamp the part in many cases. Precisely machined keyways keep the headstock accurately aligned. A precision ground alignment key is included.

NOTE: This part is not recommended for use on the Sherline lathe.
