14″ 8-direction Mill
The Deluxe 8-Direction Milling Machine is one of the most versatile mills Sherline offers. In addition to standard X-, Y-, and Z-axis movement, this model provides five additional directions of headstock adjustment—allowing you to position the spindle for drilling or milling operations from nearly any angle.
- The headstock pivots up to 90° left or right.
- The column bed also rotates side to side up to 90°, enabling angled drilling.
- A specialized knuckle joint allows the column to tilt front to back.
- The ram-style column base can swing side to side up to 90°, offering even greater flexibility.
- Loosening the column cap lets the ram move in and out, providing over 5.5″ of additional travel.
With this wide range of movement, the machining possibilities are nearly limitless within the compact work envelope of the machine. The 14″ base also increases Y-axis travel by 2″ compared to the Model 5400 mill, making it a powerful tool for advanced miniature machining applications.
The 8-direction benchtop mill is ideal for users who need a small, precision milling machine capable of high-accuracy work. Like all Sherline mills, it is made in the USA and supported by unmatched customer service. Despite its compact size, this 14″ benchtop mill is engineered to handle wood, plastic, aluminum, and even steel—delivering full-size machine precision in a desktop footprint.
Note on Ordering a Metric Mill – Most Sherline cutting tool, such as center drills, are offered in fractional sizes. If you opt for a metric machine with metric collets or holders, you’ll need to order compatible fractional-size holders to use these tools effectively.
Standard Equipment for the 8-Direction Benchtop Mill
- A powerful 90V DC motor with electronic speed controller
- 14″ base with laser-engraved scales
- Brass leadscrew cover that keeps chips off the rear of the Y-axis leadscrew

18″ NexGen Mill
The Sherline NexGen Benchtop Mill is the largest vertical milling machine we offer. As Sherline mills have become increasingly popular in industrial, laboratory, and educational settings, the need for a larger-capacity mill led to the development of the NexGen model. This benchtop mill features an expanded mill base, a longer crosslide table, and an extended column—providing greater work area and capability than our Deluxe 8-Direction Benchtop Mill (Series 2000/2100).
To fully support the extended travel of the column, we’ve increased the cross-section of the column base for added rigidity. To further improve stability during heavy cuts, the column arm no longer swings side to side. However, you still retain full flexibility with 90° rotation to the left and right, as well as in-and-out column movement—giving the NexGen mill a total of seven directions of adjustment, including X, Y, Z, and headstock rotation.
The NexGen mill is ideal for customers seeking a compact, high-precision mini mill for small parts. All Sherline milling machines are made in the USA and backed by exceptional customer support. Despite its small footprint, this 18" benchtop mill delivers full-size machining accuracy. It’s capable of cutting wood, plastic, aluminum, and even steel with precision and rigidity.
Notes on Ordering a Metric Mill - Most of our cutting tools, such as center drills, are manufactured in fractional sizes. If you're using a metric machine with metric collets or end mill holders, you’ll need to order fractional holders to fit these tools.

- Powerful 90V DC motor with electronic speed control
- 18″ mill base with Y-axis leadscrew protection
