Heavy Duty Sherline & Taig ER-40 Collet Headstock GBER40

---Taig requires our Dovetail Adapter---

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 (both in ABEC-5 or ABEC-7) and heavy load taper bearings
  • (4) ¼-20 threaded mounting holes on the bottom of the headstock for superior rigidity on custom setups


Recommendations:

  • While not necessary, we do recommend using at least a 550 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 - Many opt for a timing pulley set. You may also adapt a stock Sherline pulley.
  • We offer both V groove & timing pulley taper lock sets and adapted Sherline pulleys.

Options:-

  • ABEC-7 super precision deep groove bearings (standard bearings are ABEC-5)
  • Large Bore
  • Sherline stock pulley bored to fit spindle
  • ER40 Adjustable collet nut
  • Timing pulley - please ask

Please note: Because of heavy demands, please expect about a 4 week build time.
