(Allows mill column to be swung up to 90° to
either side for angled drilling)
The headstock on the Sherline mill can be rotated so that
milling cutters can be used at an angle. However, once the spindle is pivoted,
it no longer aligns with the movement of the Z-axis, and the handwheel cannot be
used to advance the spindle for drilling. Parts to be angle-drilled must be
mounted to the table at the proper angle. This is possible with the
P/N 3750 Tilting Angle Table, but is more difficult than mounting them flat. The rotary column attachment goes
between the mill column and base to allow the entire column to be rotated to any
angle up to 90° in either direction. Now the Z-axis handwheel advances the
spindle along its axis, allowing angle drilling to be accomplished on parts
mounted square to the table. A laser engraved collar and magnifying scribe lens
make it easy to set angles accurately by eye. No additional holes are required
for retrofit.
