>Just a simple request: Does anyone know of a source for a handwheel to fit my old Delta? It's a 1x8, LH of course.

Thanks!

>Using a Delta LH faceplate, make your own out of a nice piece of hardwood. I much prefer a handwheel that's 8 or 9 inches in diameter.

>The cheapest way is to epoxy a 1 x 8 LH nut in a piece of hardwood and turn it to the size you like. Should be less than a buck. Be sure to make it thick enough so you can drill the side for your tomy bar.

Good turning and be safe
