Sherline 8540 - Complete Deluxe CNC Vertical Mill System

Sherline 8540 - Complete Deluxe CNC Vertical Mill System
For many years Sherline has offered its machines "CNC-ready" with stepper motor mounts for others to install their own or aftermarket motors and controls for computer control. Due to numerous customer requests for a "turn-key" system, Sherline now offers a system that is even more complete than most, and at a ground-breaking price. In addition to the 5400 series mill with stepper motors, system includes a new VCS Hobbies computer with the Linux operating system and EMC 4-axis software pre-installed on the hard drive. All cables are included so that you can unpack the machine and computer, plug in the cords, boot up and be ready to start working on CNC projects.
The Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) was developed by the National Institute of Science and Technology for high-tech military jobs. It has since been simplified for home and shop use by a dedicated group of users and is available as "open source" software. Sherline has added special enhancements that tailor the program to be even more suited for use with a small tabletop mill. Some of EMC's features are:

Tool path compensation
Backlash compensation
Backplot program to show tool path
Uses industry standard g- and m-codes
Capable of using either inch or metric dimensions

In addition, Sherline adds value to the package by providing detailed use instructions written by Joe Martin, one hour of free technical support on the software and a one-year warranty on the hardware for non-production use.
