March 19, 2001
Solarbotics Ltd. is now a distributor of Sherline Machine Tool Products , and to inaugurate this arrangement, Solarbotics and Sherline are teaming up to bring a 5400 Mill package to the Western Canadian Robot Games for fundraising! We're providing the WCRG with this excellent high-quality mill ($921 CDN / $650 USD Retail) to use as a prize for a fund-raising event.

Stay tuned for the initial release of our Sherline Price List, but if you are interested, give us a shout, and we'd be happy to set you up with a quote.
