Machinist’s Parallel Bar Set
Parallel bars are precision-ground spacers used to elevate a workpiece by a known height while maintaining perfect parallelism with the machine table. This set includes five matched pairs made from 1018 steel, each measuring 2-1/2″ long and 1/16″ thick, with the following heights:
1/4″ • 3/8″ • 1/2″ • 5/8″ • 3/4″
Unlike the imported parallels previously offered, these are manufactured in-house by Sherline. Each bar is waterjet cut from 1/16″ 1018 steel, ground to precise height tolerances, and finished with a durable black oxide coating to resist corrosion. This set reflects Sherline’s commitment to accuracy, quality, and American-made craftsmanship.

For use with our Jewelers Point Carver system or your existing lathe headstock.
Each holder features a Morse #1 taper mount that fits directly into the headstock spindle. The taper mount provides a highly secure and concentric connection, making it one of the most reliable methods for mounting accessories on a rotating axis.
Each holder includes our P/N 30880 ¼-20 drawbolt and washer, ensuring the holder is securely retained within the spindle's Morse #1 taper during operation.

Jeweler Point Carver System
Our Jeweler Point Carver System was developed in response to a request from Everett Walker Jewels. You can view Everett’s exceptional craftsmanship on Instagram at @everettwalkerjewels
Designed primarily for lapidary applications, this system provides jewelers with a precise and secure method for carving, shaping, and detailing stones and other small components.
The system is built around our P/N 3306 headstock, which features a Morse #1 spindle taper. It can be purchased as a complete, standalone system or the point carver holders can be purchased as an accessory for any Sherline lathe equipped with a Morse #1 headstock.
At the core of the system is the headstock, paired with a motor and electronic speed control to deliver smooth, variable-speed operation.
The system offers four interchangeable holder options. Each holder features a Morse #1 taper mount that fits directly into the headstock spindle. The taper mount provides a highly secure and concentric connection, making it one of the most reliable methods for mounting accessories on a rotating axis.
Each holder includes our P/N 30880 ¼-20 drawbolt and washer, ensuring the holder is securely retained within the spindle’s Morse #1 taper during operation.
The Point Carver System also includes our P/N 1156 #1 Morse Taper Remover, allowing holders to be safely and easily released from the spindle taper when changing setups.
