Each comes with the 2000-series ram. It has the versatility of Sherline?s 2000-series mill column with it?s large work area and seven directions of movement. Tall column provides more Z-clearance. Includes Y-leadscrew cover hole.NOTE: The mounting hole pattern for this column is designed to work with the new mill base that has the thru-hole for the Y-axis cover tube. It will not mount on an older style mill base. If you wish to use this rigid base with an older style mill base, you will need to drill and bore the two new holes in your mill base. We can either supply you with the dimensions, or you can send your base in to have it modified for a fee by us. Contact us for a print or a machining quote.Column DesignThe column bolts to the mill base using the same two side-by-side 1/4-20 SHCSs as the normal base, although we include two new ones with each base. The column has the newer style hole through the base to accept the Y-axis leadscrew cover tube. The standard base is the same height as the regular 2000 mill round column. The taller column is the same height as the 2000 round column with the riser block in place.Everything except the steel rotating disk is from aluminum.* PICTURE SHOWS BOTH HEIGHTS AVAILABLE FOR THE COLUMN BASE AND ARE FOR REFERENCE ONLY.
