Anybody got a source for these handles

[dan.taylor.1]

Hi folks,

Was winding the mill knee about the other day and the swivel handle broke off, so I need a new one, it's about 4.5" long and is 7/16"-14 bsw best I can measure it.

Can't seem to find any other than metric ones.

As always, any help much appreciated

Cheers, Dan

Try searching on the Bay of Es for "milling machine knee handle"

e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234368184793

The proportions appear similar.

Weld it?

Is that a little 'stub' that's screwed into the curvy bit?

Braze it or try essentra or Elesa … probably

Thanks for the replies, this one can rotate, the threaded stub is held in with a c clip, so worst case I'll make another stub, but the chrome is pitted and isn't nice in the hand tbh.

Like so, should have taken it apart sooner tbh. It's gone at the weak bit where the clip goes.

It's gone at the weak bit

Odd that

I have a copy of their product catalogue, it's 2" thick and full of good stuff.

Wixroyd for when WDS are out of stock

I think WDS might have an Ebay presence - seem to recall two hand wheels were cheaper via that than direct.
