Multi Compatible 5.5" Ultimate Handwheel 1/2" Bore Hole Included M8 Revolving Handle Crank Setscrew Used as Replacement Part for Table Saw Milling Lathe Drill-Press Tailstock Industrial Machine etc

Heavy CHUNK of plastic for the body of the wheel. I installed it on an old Miller Thunderbolt buzz box (stick rod welder). It works great even where my adjustment shaft gets difficult/tight.

Replaced a turning knob on a 70+ year old table saw. Was super easy to replace, and this thing is sturdy. Worth the money in heft, alone.

easy to install. replaced the hand turn (discontinued item) on an older Craftsman band saw.

Overall this hand wheel accomplished the purpose, but I wish I had purchased the larger diameter hand wheel. The fit was a little small for the adjustment on my Delta 36-650 table saw.It worked, but is not ideal.The quality was decent, and it was fairly easy to install.

This handwheel is excellent quality in every way. This is not junk at all. It is very well-machined. I replaced the broken hand crank for the table on my floor drill press with this one, and it works so much better. I bet this will last forever. Just get your sizing right and you'll be please with its purchase.

Perfect size to clear my drill press table. Good fit to spindle.

This hand-wheel is very well designed and flexible to use/install on tools that need a hand-wheel to control movement. I was very happy to see that someone made this add-on hand-wheel for tools where an OEM manufacturer decided to cut costs and didn't include one.The plastic handle is thick and appears to be quite strong. I loved that the provider included (2) sets of the (3) "set screws" that engage the Aluminum cylinder and hold the hand-wheel to a post. The people that designed this add-on part have shown that they understand how a tool like this is used and how to design it for function. Good job!

Handwheel – Outside Diameter 5.5" -- 1/2" holeThe factory table height adjustment crank on my Jet J-2530 15" Bench Drill Press flexed when raising the table with a heavy 4" cross vise. Not wanting to wait until the handle broke, I replaced it with one of these fine hand-wheels.The black plastic on this handwheel is unusually thick, the aluminum hub is substantial, the hub is tightened with three set screws (included) versus one on the competition, and it is expertly manufactured. E.g., the aluminum is 5/16" thick where it’s threaded for the set screws. The shaft hole is 7/8" deep, which matched the length of the Jet bench press shaft.If the shaft for where you will install the handwheel is ½" in diameter, simply attach this, and you're good to go.In my case, the Jet table crank shaft is .564 in diameter, which is essentially 9/16" (0.5625") -- so the hand wheel’s aluminum 1/2" hole needed to be slightly enlarged. Here's one way to do that, ensuring that the enlarged hole remains perpendicular to the piece:1. Cut a supporting "base" out of plywood (e.g., 1/2" thick) the same size as the hand wheel’s outside diameter – 5.5" x 5.5" in my case. Screw that to a scrap piece of 2x4.2. Clamp that 2x4 onto a drill press's vise. (If your drill press doesn’t have a vice or cross vise, skip the 2x4 and clamp the base directly onto the drill press table.)3. Set the handwheel on the base and hold it down with six spring clamps. Don’t over tighten, if using stronger clamps, to avoid cracking the plastic.4. Using a the proper sized drill bit (9/16" in my case) -- lower the bit to where it would just begin cutting and set the drill's depth stop to 7/8" (depth of the handwheel hole) from there. Be sure not to drill too big a hole, so the hand wheel doesn’t wobble.5. Set the drill’s speed to a slow speed. This is usually done by moving its drive belts.6. Align the bit with the hole and slowly enlarge it to the drill’s size, down to the depth stop.7. Install the Allen screws and make sure they screw in past the resized hole – clean up any aluminum flakes from around the threads.8. Slip the handwheel onto the crank shaft leaving a slight gap from the machine so that it doesn't bind -- tighten the Allen screws onto the crank shaft; install the handle.If the hole is too tight (after drilling out) to slip onto the crank shaft, put a Dremel-sized sanding disk in the drill and incrementally enlarge said hole until it fits.See Customer Images...
