Denford MicroMill 2000 Z axis coupler needed

Post by aqibi2000 » Tue 24 Aug , 2021 17:29 pm

Hi all,

just got into testing my cnc machine and found the Z axis flexible coupler (which is coupled with a taper) is broken. :|

very similar to the photo of the new one except the broken one from my machine is flexible, not rigid.

I am UK based, can someone please help me source one, thank you!

Hi Steve,

thanks I've spotted this on eBay which is where I got the photo from, Sherline USA, I am wanting to source one in the UK since I don't wish to wait the long for delivery.

Anyone know the angle of the taper if I was to get someone to make me one on a lathe? it's a very simple part...

I think you may have better luck trying to find a sherline reseller in the UK, there is no way there isn't someone selling them "local"

I agree, I assumed I would come across this person on this forum :lol:

Mill Hill Supplies is a company I'm waiting to hear back from
