Why don't you make 'em your self? I'm sure that even with hand tools
you could do a decent job. But if you have the sherline mill already
just buy the aluminum plate yourself and put in the holes and slots.
There is nothing magical about motor mounts and you can leave out the
gold plating. I just looked at their web site and saw a picture of a
mill with steppers mounted. You don't need those fancy conical mounts.
But if you have a lathe then you can have that too.

I second that. For REALLY budget mounts, as an example of what works,
see the Frog pages:
http://www.avatartools.com/Merchant2..._Code=Sherline

or see what I did with my Toyo (Sakai) machine:

This pic doesn't show the z-axis mount, but it was just a couple
pieces of 1/8 inch al plate and 3/4 inch bar, cap-screwed together and
mounted to the face of the fine-feed housing.

Regards,

Bob

Maybe they are making them on a Sherline mill (:

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Eric and Bob, but it is a *time* and not a money issue, but
$250 for three mounts and I'd still need a new z-axis drive according
to the sherline website. Talk about reamed, shafted and bored. g
