Sherline 5825-CNC (Inch) 18″ NexGen XYZ Base CNC ready (See 5830-CNC for metric)

Description

Sherline PN 5825-CNC INCH version
18″ NexGen XYZ Base
(See 5830-CNC for metric)
Purpose of the Sherline Mill XYZ Bases
This Sherline vertical mill base is without the headstock and motor/speed control. This allows lathe owners to swap the headstock and motor/speed control from their lathe to the mill in approximately 60 seconds. This package offers a savings of about 28-30% when compared to the price of our standard mill.
The NexGen Mill XYZ base is the same base used in our NexGen mill.
Standard features of the XYZ Base:
Extra-Rigid Column Base
15″ Extended Column Bed
18″ Extended Mill Table
18″ Mill Base
Travel:
X=13.65″ (347 mm), Y= 11.0″ (279 mm), Z=9.38″ (238 mm)
CNC-Ready XYZ Bases
Any Sherline mill XYZ base can be ordered with stepper motor mounts installed on the X-, Y- and Z-axes ready for the installation of stepper motors. (Stepper motors not included, see the
STEPPER MOTOR
page.) Included with the CNC-ready XYZ bases are three low mass 1-5/8″ handwheels. If using Sherline or other dual shaft stepper motors, the handwheels can be mounted to the rear shaft to provide manual control in addition to CNC control. (
NOTE:
Manual control is not possible on CNC-ready bases until a dual shaft stepper motor has been installed. Handwheels cannot be installed directly onto the stepper motor mounts.) These slides have been popular items in the industry to control movement in small production line processes, and the addition of computer control extends the possibilities for automation. Travels of each of these CNC-ready bases are the same as for the manually controlled versions
shown above.
