Sherline Z-Axis Backlash Lock Upgrade (Metric)

Description

Upgrade Your Sherline CNC-Ready Mill

Are you tired of dealing with excess backlash on your Sherline CNC-ready mill? The Z-axis backlash lock upgrade is here to solve this problem. Initially, Sherline machines did not come with a Z-axis locking lever as it was thought that it might be accidentally left engaged, causing problems with missed steps and potentially damaging the machine or ruining the part. However, certain 3D modeling and engraving applications require very subtle movements of the Z-axis, making excess backlash a significant issue.

Accurate Control Over Z-Axis Backlash

This upgrade allows for adjustable control over the Z-axis backlash, making it possible to reduce it down to as little as .001″. This is particularly useful for applications that require high precision, such as 3D modeling and engraving. With this upgrade, you can achieve more accurate results and improve the overall performance of your machine.

Easy Installation

The upgrade is easily installed, requiring no new holes to be drilled. Simply remove the saddle nut securing screw and replace it with a longer one that goes through a hole in the locking plate. Then, attach the pin on the end of the locking arm to a hole in the locking lever. Once you’ve positioned the lever to your desired location, simply tighten the thumbscrew to hold it in place.

Important Safety Information

Please note that drilling, sawing, sanding, or machining wood products can expose you to wood dust, a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer. Be sure to take necessary precautions to avoid inhaling wood dust, such as wearing a dust mask or using other safeguards for personal protection.
