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.

Product Description

About the Spindle Handwheel

The spindle handwheel was designed to make the task of controlling the spindle easier. With it, you can quickly stop the spindle or turn it by hand to tap a thread or inspect a part.

The handwheel mounts on the end of the spindle shaft and looks and works much like a sewing machine handwheel. It allows the operator to quickly and safely stop a rotating spindle by hand. It also makes it easy to hand index the spindle when working on a part. A black oxide finish was not used because the smooth, machined surface offers a better feel on your hand.
