Vertical milling column w/ adjustable zero handwheel Feature
- Similar to P/N 3050 column but with adjustable zero handwheel
- Turns lathe into small mill or drill press in 30 seconds
- Add XY table later to create a complete milling machine
The vertical milling column turns a Sherline lathe into a light-duty mill in less than 30 seconds. This column features an adjustable zero handwheel on the Z-axis. Just release the set screw that holds the headstock and lift it off its pin. Set the column base over the same pin and secure it with its set screw. Now place the headstock/motor/speed control unit over the pin on the column saddle (with the alignment key in place to keep it square) and tighten the headstock set screw. Now you have a vertical axis, called the Z-axis that gives you all the functions of a vertical milling machine. You can do drilling, milling, boring, fly cuttingeverything you could do on a mill, except that you are working with a smaller table. If your parts are small, this may be all you ever need as far is milling capacity. Should you find you eventually need more milling capacity, you can purchase just a mill XY base and use this column and your lathe drive unit to make a complete mill. Includes deluxe 2 laser engraved adjustable zero handwheel with ball bearing thrust. (If using on a 4000-series lathe with standard handwheels, see P/N 3050.) Designed for use on Sherline lathes only.
