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.

#0 Morse Blank

SKU: 3051 Category:

Product Description

The Morse #0 blank is made from .75″ diameter free machining steel and is available so that you can make your own custom tool holders to fit the lathe tailstock. The billet end is 0.950″ long and 3/4″ in diameter. The proper #0 Morse taper is already machined onto the tapered end. You need only turn, drill, tap, thread or slot the blank to fit your special tooling needs. This blank is most often made into a tool holder for specific size center drills, drills or reamers so they can be changed rapidly in the tailstock when doing repetitive jobs that require multiple tailstock tool changes. The blank is drilled/bored to the tool size and a cross hole is drilled and tapped for a small set screw to hold the tool in place.

The arbor could also be threaded to accept a Sherline or non-Sherline chuck.* It is inexpensive and saves you the time of setting up to cut the #0 Morse taper yourself.

*NOTE: #0 M tailstock arbors are already available threaded 3/4-16 for Sherline 3 and 4-jaw chucks, threaded to accept 1/4″ or 3/8″ Drill Chucks,  or an adjustable tailstock holder with a #0 Jacobs male taper to allow 5/32″ Jacobs chucks to be pressed on.
