SHERLINE Machine Tools

Made in the USA

Sherline tools are used throughout the world in industry, schools, and by the hobbyist. They are operated by engineers, scientists, technicians, and model makers to produce parts in metal, plastic, and wood. Not all users are skilled machinists. The skills of an experienced machinist are not required. The Sherline miniature machine tools are designed to be operated by people with a “common sense” knowledge of mechanics.

The machines are USA made in a modern factory in Vista, California, north of San Diego.

Sherline tools fill the gap between makeshift hand tools and expensive professional equipment. They are capable of producing a great variety of machined parts. Accessories are available which allows the making of almost any type of machined item, the size of the part being the only limitation.

Sherline equipment and accessories incorporate many features found only in the best production machines. For example, the lathe spindle and the milling spindle both utilize lifetime lubricated bearings with adjustable pre-load for maximum stiffness. Both the lathe and milling machine feature fully dovetailed machine slides with adjustable gibs to give precise adjustment and maximum rigidity. Machining accuracies of one thousandth of an inch can be easily obtained. In fact, the hand wheels are precisely laser engraved in graduations of .001 inch.

The value of any tool is the relationship between its cost and the results it produces. For most of the small machining jobs encountered by the average user, Sherline machines will produce results equal to machines costing many times more. Unless money is no object, why pay more? A good tool never becomes obsolete, The operations done on a lathe or mill have remained the same since the dawn of the machine age. A good 50-year old lathe still produces good parts. Sherline machines are designed and built to last for generations.

Economy, Versatility, and Quality, Sherline machines embody all three in an unbeatable combination. That’s Value!
