Sherline 2K Mill Base and Electrical

[jjr2001]

Sherline recommends a base board for portability. I first mounted it on my "universal mobile cabinet".
Then I needed to use my table saw...Duh....Ok, let's make this thing portable and add a lamp with
electrical outlets and a switch and a pilot light.

One of the cautions some users noted was that the spindle could be on without any noise or motion.
They added a small pilot light to the control panel. Works great.

I wanted to set mine up with a pilot light, lamp, power switch and a switched outlet plus a place to plug in the DRO power supply.
That was accomplished with the 4x4 box, switch with indicator, and duplex outlet.
Mounted it at the rear of the support board.
The lamp is an Led type that cost a whole 6 bucks. It came on a clamp (plastic) which I promptly removed.

Bottom of the board has 4 blind mounting nuts (10-32) to hold the mill.

Electrical box is the outdoor type with an indoor cover plate. It has a 1/4" riser so the cover plate
clears the base.

Bottom of the board was then covered with some carpet pad. The type used to keep throw rugs from
slipping on a tile or wood floor.

Now it is portable, sound buffered, pilot lighted, illuminated, DRO powered, and ready to work.

Cheers, JR
