Sherline 5000 - Vertical Milling Machine

The 5000-series mills are Sherline’s most economical mills and would be a good starting point for any miniature machine shop. They feature a solid 10″ (254mm) aluminum base, precision machined dovetailed slides with adjustable gibs, permanently lubricated spindle bearings, adjustable preload anti-backlash feed screws on the X- and Y-axes, two 1-5/8″ (41mm) laser engraved aluminum handwheels, one 2-1/2″ (63mm) laser engraved handwheel with thrust bearings, and many other features found only on the best commercial machines. Standard equipment for the mill includes: A powerful 90V DC motor with electronic speed controller, 10″ base, Standard 1-5/8″ (41mm) handwheels on the X- and Y-axes, and one 2 1/2″ (63mm) with thrust bearings on the Z-axis. Each handwheel has laser engraved aluminum handwheel collars, 2.75″ (70 mm) x 13.0″ (330 mm) table with two T-slots, Pulleys, drive belt, three hexagonal keys, spindle bars, gib removal tool, eight-foot three-wire power cord, and instruction manual, Oil reservoirs on the X/Y axes and the Z axis to help keep critical parts lubricated. These were initially developed for CNC machines that run constantly for hours on end but can benefit manual machines as well, Brass leadscrew cover that keeps chips off the rear of the Y-axis leadscrew.
