Description

Sherline-Taig ER32 Spindle Upgrade in Heavy Duty Headstock - From GlockCNC.com
Quick Note! ---
We are now accepting new orders for the next shipment. On average, it's taking 2 to 3 months to get our parts orders in (we keep selling out and the supply chain is still slow). To keep things fair, we can only hold "spots" in the next order for paid customers. In other words, the longer a person waits to order, the more likely they will miss out on getting in on the current order batch. This is because, just like the previous order, the incoming order will likely sell out before we even get it! Thanks, James...
The Sherline and Taig headstocks are a good little headstock, but it’s a bit too small for some needs. Because of the demand for a more robust headstock with larger bearings; we introduce the Glock Billet Headstock. It has all the mounting features of a stock Sherline headstock to keep it completely compatible with Sherline products. Plus, it has additional mounts for custom machines. The differences are as follows:
You can now have a more robust 3.5”W x 3.5”T x 3.0”L, that’s a full 1.00” wider and taller (0.50” on each side & 1.00” taller than a stock Sherline headstock, center is still 1.75”)
Larger 62mm OD bearings for heavier work load and superior wear, so you can use heavier chucks, parts or cutters (stock is only 42mm OD)
Available in deep groove, angular contact (ABEC-5, ABEC-7 or ABEC-9 )
OEM Sherline mount & motor mount compatible plus Six 5/16 holes on the flange of the headstock for custom machine setups.
Options:
While not necessary, we do recommend using at least a 750 watt motor for this. The bearings are much more heavy duty. If you choose to use a stock Sherline motor, it will work, however, you will need a longer belt (it will directly mount, holes are in the same place and size as on a stock Sherline headstock).
Taig motors will not work effectively with this headstock. The motor and belts are too weak. While Taig machine bodies are very well made, the motor and belts won't be enough.
Pulley - 3 step Sherline compatible pulley. Keep in mind that any pulley shown in the images are optional upgrades because some people want to make their own.
Taig mill or lathe requires a separate adapter for (the adapter is pretty robust, much more solid than the stock Taig mounting system)
Options:-
ABEC-7 super precision deep groove bearings (standard bearings are ABEC-5)
ABEC-7 sealed angular contact bearings
ABEC-9 sealed angular contact bearings
Large Bore .790"
3 Step Pulley (grooves fit Sherline belt profile)
ER32 Adjustable collet nut
Taig adapter
Usual build time is two weeks because of demand. Rarely, but sometimes, it can longer if we have to wait on parts or unforeseen circumstances.
