The Sherline CNC-Ready Mill Upgrade Kit - 5000/5400 Mill Z Axis Kit w/ Screw (") enables the conversion of any existing Sherline vertical mill to a CNC-ready configuration. This upgrade requires the precise installation of stepper motor mounts, which involves drilling and tapping several holes. The kit is equipped with drill blocks that ensure accurate hole placement by attaching to the appropriate table or bed using an existing hole, allowing for the creation of two new holes guided by the block.
In addition to the installation of the mounts, the conversion process for the mill column necessitates the installation of a new leadscrew. The kit provides comprehensive instructions to facilitate the conversion process, ensuring that users can achieve a successful upgrade to CNC-ready status.
