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.

Horological Milling Machine Bushing and Depthing Accessory
This accessory was developed based on a concept shared by longtime Sherline user and Craftsman of the Year, Jerry Kieffer. The idea is to adapt a small milling machine for multiple clock and watch repair tasks – replacing the need for several specialized tools. It simplifies and enhances depthing by letting you position a gear exactly where it needs to be, check its mesh with a mating gear, and then precisely machine the bushing hole in the correct location.
With the Sherline mill, you can precisely position and align clock and watch components, allowing for highly accurate machining of bushing holes in both size and location. Once the machining is complete, the mill can also serve as a manual press for bushing insertion.
Used in combination with your Sherline mill, this accessory transforms your setup into a versatile three-in-one clock and watch repair machine – while retaining the full functionality of a precision milling machine.
The photos show the depthing attachment on a 5400 mill. If you want to use it on a 5000-series mill you will need to add the headstock spacer block.
