Sherline 5000 mill CNC conversion mounts

Three-dimensional printed mounts facilitate a seamless CNC retrofit for Sherline 5000 mills, incorporating precision-engineered NEMA 17 stepper motors, sleek GT2 belts linked via a compact 10-tooth small gear situated on the motor itself and a robust 30-tooth large gear positioned atop the axis. To achieve this advanced conversion, a minimum of two deliberate holes (M6x1.0 threads) must be drilled into the sturdy base plate as well as the stable cross-table to securely fasten all mechanical components in place. A moderate degree of manual tightening might also prove necessary for optimal performance on the Z-axis assembly due to slightly constrained clearance dimensions within its specific mounting area. For added accuracy and precision, users may consider judiciously increasing material scaling factors by precisely 1% prior to embarking on their build project, as refinements shall soon be posted later via an online repository.
