Sherline Tools Is Going Out of Business
2 hours ago
- Sherline Tools, a U.S. manufacturer of precision lathes, mills, and CNC machines, is winding down manufacturing operations.
- The company cites COVID impacts, rising manufacturing costs, and changing consumer habits as reasons for the shutdown.
- Sherline will continue building and selling products through October 2026, but some operations may end sooner.
- They plan to maintain an online presence, sell replacement parts, and honor warranties.
- The company will keep its technical archives and educational resources available.
- Comments from users express sadness and note a lack of innovation and competition from Asian imports and modern desktop CNCs.
- Some suggest Sherline could have focused on STEM education or better marketing, but others doubt it would have saved them.
- The announcement implies a full closure, with equipment being removed from service, possibly leading to liquidation.
