Product Description
For use on a Sherline lathe or mill in place of the standard headstock if you are wanting an ER-16 spindle.
Keep in mind that if the ER-16 nose is ordered, no Sherline accessories that use a #1 Morse taper or 3/4-16 thread will work on this spindle.
The ER-16 nut that ships with your order may be plain or have a black oxide finish.
NOTE: We do not sell the collets used with the ER-16 spindle. Those are available through MSC Industrial Supply Co. or other tool supply sources.

Optional ER-16 Collet Nut Spanner Set
We offer an ER-16 collet nut spanner set for the ER-16 headstocks. The spanner set includes two wrenches: One has a pin that engages one of the holes in the Sherline spindle to keep it from turning while the nut is tightened, and the other is a hex wrench sized to fit the special ER-16 nut (the spanner set is not included with the headstock).

Headstock Bearing Replacement

You must return your headstock to our facility for bearing replacement*. Contact our customer service department, kim@sherline.com, for an RMA number before sending your headstock back for service.
