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.

Product Description

About the Accordion Way Cover Set for Sherline Ball Screw Mills

The way cover set for our ball screw mills comes in two sizes: P/N 5920 is used for the 12″ and 14″ mill base models, and P/N 5958 is for the longer 18″ base mill.

The way cover material is made of polypropylene. It is durable and resilient enough to withstand the temperature of hot chips better. The material itself is 10 mil (mil=0.001″).

The front plate set is held in place with screws mounted to the front of the mill base. The two inner plates are held against each side of the saddle using two 10-32 bolts. The rear cover slips over the column and is held in place by a spring. Complete, illustrated step-by-step instructions are included, and installation takes only a few minutes.
