- Operates smoothly up to 10,000 RPM
The Sherline Tapered Headstock w/ Flat Base 3/4-16 #1 Taper V Belt is a precision-engineered component designed for industrial applications, drawing its design from the headstock used in Sherline lathes and milling machines. Constructed from extruded 6061-T6 aluminum, it features a durable black anodized finish. This headstock is equipped with a 3/4-16 #1 Morse taper spindle and a 2-step V belt pulley configuration, offering versatility and reliability for various machining tasks.
The headstock incorporates lifetime lubricated bearings with adjustable preload, ensuring high accuracy, smooth operation, and reduced noise. These Class 5 bearings are rated for continuous speeds up to approximately 4,000 RPM, with the potential to reach up to 10,000 RPM with a slightly adjusted preload setting. The design includes two 1/4-20 mounting holes and an alignment key slot on the flat base, facilitating secure and precise installation on fixtures or machines.
While the spindle is versatile, allowing long stock to pass through its .405-inch through hole, it is intended for light-duty applications. Operators must assess the suitability of the spindle and setup for their specific tasks, especially when dealing with long or out-of-round parts at high RPMs. The spindle is equipped with a dust cover to protect the bearings, although it is not fully sealed, and exposure to dust or coolant can affect bearing longevity.
