Product Description

Any Sherline vertical mill can be purchased without the headstock and motor/speed control as an XYZ base. This allows lathe owners to swap the headstock and motor/speed control from their lathe to the mill in approximately 60 seconds.

About the CNC-Ready, 8-Direction Benchtop Mill XYZ Base

The Benchtop Mill XYZ base is the same base used in our 2000-series 8-direction mill. It has a 14″ base and a 13″ table, both with laser-engraved measurements. Stepper motor mounts are on the X-, Y-, and Z-axes, ready for the installation of stepper motors (Stepper motors are not included, see the STEPPER MOTOR page for information).

Travel: X=8.65″ (220 mm), Y= 7.0″ (178 mm), Z=5.38″ (137 mm)

CNC-Ready XYZ Bases

Included with the CNC-ready XYZ bases are three low-mass 1-5/8″ handwheels. If using Sherline or other dual-shaft stepper motors, the handwheels can be mounted to the rear shaft to provide manual control in addition to CNC control. (NOTE: Manual control is not possible on CNC-ready bases until a dual shaft stepper motor has been installed. Handwheels cannot be installed directly onto the stepper motor mounts.) These slides have been popular items in the industry to control movement in small production line processes, and the addition of computer control extends the possibilities for automation. Travels of each of these CNC-ready bases are the same as for the manually-controlled versions.

NOTE: CNC-ready machines cannot be operated manually unless double-shaft stepper motors are installed.

Sherline stepper motors feature shafts at both ends, allowing for manual control via a handwheel, if desired. Flats are ground onto each shaft to accommodate set screws for the handwheel and coupling. For use with a Sherline motor mount, ensure that the shaft entering the coupling has a flat machined or ground onto it where the set screw secures it. Failure to do so may damage the shaft, making the coupling difficult to remove. For non-Sherline applications, the flat may not be necessary.

Powerful Dual-Shaft Motors

  • P/N 67127: This motor comes pre-wired with six leads in a connector that plugs directly into Sherline's linear or rotary controllers. Both our CNC system and driver box include four pre-wired cables with 5-pin plugs that match the P/N 67127 stepper motor. Simply plug each stepper motor into the corresponding axis cable for an easy setup.

  • P/N 67130: This motor features six raw wire leads, and does not include a connector, so that it can be used with non-Sherline controllers that have a different pin configuration.

Note: Due to the lack of standardization in the industry, wire colors can vary between suppliers. If using a connector not supplied by Sherline we recommend using a continuity checker to identify which wire connects to each pin on the DIN plug. Typically, the black and white (or tan) wires are connected to the center pins, but other colors may vary. See our specifications sheet for wiring diagram.
