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.

60° Carbide Tool
Carbide tools feature a small insert of extremely hard carbide brazed onto a softer steel shank. They are ideal for machining hard or abrasive materials, as they retain their hardness at temperatures up to approximately 1700°F. This allows for higher cutting speeds and faster feed rates compared to high-speed steel (HSS) tools.
Sharpening carbide tools is more challenging, requiring a silicon carbide or diamond grinding wheel. Additionally, the tool geometry is more critical than with HSS cutters. However, their superior performance on tough or abrasive materials makes them a popular choice. If your HSS tools are wearing out quickly, switching to carbide may be the solution.
