The Sherline Mill CNC Upgrade Kit w/ Stepper Motors (for 2010, Metric) is designed for individuals who already possess a Sherline mill and wish to enhance its capabilities by integrating CNC functionality. This comprehensive kit facilitates the conversion process by providing essential components to add stepper motors to the mill's X, Y, and Z axes. A retrofit kit is included to enable the attachment of stepper motor mounts, ensuring a seamless upgrade experience. The kit features a new Z-axis leadscrew, while the existing X and Y screws are retained, optimizing the use of current resources.
Included in the package are three standard stepper motors, each equipped with plugs for easy connectivity. These motors are complemented by a 4-axis driver box, which incorporates a power supply and all necessary cables to establish connections with both the computer and the stepper motors. This ensures that users have all the required components to facilitate the CNC upgrade process.
Additionally, the kit provides the Sherline Linux/EMC control program on CD, offering users the option to install this software on their computer to manage the CNC operations effectively. This program is tailored to enhance the functionality of the upgraded mill, providing a robust platform for precise control and operation.
Note: Ensure all components are installed correctly to prevent operational hazards.
