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.

13″ Lathe Crosslide Assembly – Manual
This 13″ crosslide is designed for users who want to convert their Sherline lathe into a Chucker Lathe or gang-tooling lathe. Its extended length allows for mounting multiple gang-tooling tool posts along the crosslide.
The 13″ crosslide measures .870″ thick, compared to .625″ for the standard 6″ crosslide. Due to its increased thickness, this crosslide is not recommended as a direct replacement for standard lathe use. To bring the tooling on center with the headstock, a Headstock Riser Plate is required.
When using this setup, note that:
-
The tailstock cannot be used, as we offer a riser for the headstock only – not for the tailstock.
-
Turning between centers will no longer be possible.
-
Certain accessories, such as the thread-cutting attachment, are not compatible with the thicker crosslide.
The 13″ crosslide includes a leadscrew and a standard 1-5/8″ handwheel, saddle not included.
