The Sherline CNC-Ready Mill Upgrade Kit - 2000 Mill Z Axis Kit w/ Screw (") is designed to convert existing Sherline vertical mills to CNC-ready status. This conversion process involves precise modifications, including drilling and tapping several holes to securely attach the stepper motor mounts. The kit provides drill blocks that ensure accurate hole placement by using the existing hole as a guide for drilling two additional holes. Once drilled, these holes are tapped to facilitate the installation of the new mount.
A significant component of this upgrade is the installation of a new leadscrew specifically for the mill column, which is essential for achieving CNC functionality. The kit is comprehensive, providing all necessary components and detailed instructions to guide users through the conversion process. This ensures that the transition to CNC-ready status is smooth and efficient, enhancing the capabilities of the Sherline vertical mill.
Note: Ensure proper safety measures are followed during installation to prevent injury.
