ER-16 Headstock

ER-16 collet nut included.

SKU: 30111 Category:

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).
