Sherline Crosslide Accessory Plate Instructions
Enhances lathe functionality
Increases table thickness by 0.5 inch
Reinforces lathe table
Protects table surface from damage
Extends mill table length
The Sherline Crosslide Accessory Plate Instructions provide guidance on enhancing the functionality of a lathe when used with a vertical milling column. The accessory plate increases the thickness of the lathe table by half an inch, thereby reinforcing the table to withstand greater forces during milling operations. This additional thickness also serves as a protective tooling plate, safeguarding the lathe table's surface from potential damage. The plate is securely attached to the table using recessed cap screws and T-nuts, and it is recommended to remove it during lathe turning to allow for maximum part diameter and standard tool post usage.
In milling applications, the crosslide accessory plate is advantageous for extending the mill table's length. This extension is particularly beneficial when mounting the rotary table vertically, as it prevents the loss of usable travel on the table. When used in conjunction with the adjustable tailstock, the accessory plate ensures that the centerline height of both the rotary table and the tailstock remains consistent, which is crucial for precise machining operations.
