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.

55° RH and LH Tool Holders for Inserts w/7° Relief Angle
These holders are identical to our standard 55° Insert Tool Holders, with one key distinction.
While our original 55° holders are designed for DPMT inserts with an 11° relief angle, these updated holders are configured for DCMT inserts, which feature a 7° relief angle.
Over time, insert availability and design options evolve. The DPMT insert, once standard in our 55° holders, has become increasingly scarce and offers fewer chip breaker variations. In contrast, the DCMT insert is widely available and comes in a broad range of styles, making it a more versatile and accessible option.
Note: Many customers machining brass found excellent results with our uncoated 11° DPMT insert featuring a straight-groove chip breaker. Unfortunately, this insert is no longer available. That’s why we introduced these updated holders to accommodate 7° DCMT inserts.
For those working with brass, insert P/N 7613 is an ideal replacement. It cuts cleanly and delivers a high-quality surface finish.
Coated inserts with various chip breaker designs are still available for both DPMT and DCMT styles.
