My mini lathe really benefits from this upgrade.the last hand wheel was cracked and weathered. Excellent addition!

The wheel is a robust casting with good finish all around. The handle works well. The over-size hub with three screws made it easy to adapt to a variety of shaft sizes. It also comes with two sets of screws - knurled head, finger tightened screws, and a set of internal setscrews.

I bought this for my old craftsman table saw blade tilt control because the original has always been hard to crank. This one is so much easier. I recommend it!

The handle to raise and lower my ridgid radial arm saw broke in half. This design makes it a direct replacement for the original part, which can not be obtained from the manufacturer or other sites. The added benefit of this part is that it raises and lowers the arm with less effort than before. The diameter is small enough whereas to not rack my knuckles as I spin it. If anyone needs to get a replacement like this, I would highly recommend that you at least consider this part for the operation in which you need.

The table saw was an old Craftsman unit and the wheel that elevated the saw blade was made of a cheap plastic that eventually broke. It is a 1/2 inch D shaft and the handwheel fitted exactly. Being a metal construction, it will last forever.

I bought 4 hand wheels for a machine retrofit where I work. These 140mm hand wheels seem solid and strong in the hand and will make doing adjustment much easer. The web plastic between the hub and outer ring is quite a bit thicker than I was expecting. I was limited for space but this diameter is still big enough to provide enough torque to make the adjustments. I like that there are three set screws to replace the three cap screws to secure the wheel to the shaft.The seller was very prompt to reply to any communication.Update-the added picture is with the hand wheels install on the pipe fuser. The three set screws grip the threaded shaft better than I expected.

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...
