10″ Mill

The 10″ tabletop mill is Sherline’s most affordable milling machines and an excellent starting point for any miniature machine shop. These mills feature a sturdy 10″ (254mm) precision-machined aluminum base, dovetailed slides with adjustable gibs, permanently lubricated spindle bearings, and adjustable preload anti-backlash feed screws on the X- and Y-axes. They also include two 1-5/8″ (41mm) laser-engraved aluminum handwheels, one 2-1/2″ (63mm) handwheel with thrust bearings, and many of the same features found on high-end commercial machines.

This compact tabletop mill is ideal for those looking to create small, precision parts. Proudly made in the USA, our mills are backed by unmatched customer service. Despite its small footprint, the 10″ mill delivers the accuracy and rigidity needed to cut not only wood and plastic, but also aluminum and steel. It’s a desktop-size machine built for full-size performance and precision.

Note on Ordering a Metric Mill – Most Sherline cutting tool, such as center drills, are offered in fractional sizes. If you opt for a metric machine with metric collets or holders, you’ll need to order compatible fractional-size holders to use these tools effectively.
