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.

Turner’s Cube Puzzle Kit

SKU: T1000 Category:

Product Description


Everything you need to make a cube puzzle

Here’s a fun project that you can make within an hour or two that will amaze your friends. When done, a tiny cube with a hole through it is contained inside another cube with a hole in it. Both of those are inside a third 3/4″ cube with a hole in it. How did they get in there? How was it made? The kit includes an aluminum cube to practice on and a brass cube for your finished puzzle. Producing the finished cube requires a series of drilling and boring processes explained in the four pages of step-by-step illustrated instructions that come with the kit.

The kit includes both an aluminum and a brass billet of 3/4″ square stock cut to slightly over 3/4″ long ready for you to make this interesting puzzle on your Sherline lathe and mill. (It can also be made using just the lathe.) Included are a 3/8″ tool post, two boring tools (one is custom ground as an undercut tool), a 1/8″ drill, a #2 center drill, and a key ring.
