4" Ultimate Handwheel for Shaft 1/2'' or Smaller, Heavy-Duty Crank Handle for Table Saw, Lathe, Milling Machine & Drill Press – Compatible with Craftsman, DeWalt & Universal Machinery Made in Korea

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.

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...

I don't usually get too excited about functional components, but I have to make an exception here.I needed a replacement handle for the table lift on my drill press. I didn't like the OEM crank arm and wanted something round. This was exactly what I was looking for and I'm glad I purchased it. It was easily adapted to my drill press and is so much nicer to use than the old crank handle.

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.

I have a 40+ tear old Sears Craftsman table saw. A while back the crank for the blade tilt wheel broke and parts cannot be found. I saw this and decided to give it a try. It works perfectly.

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

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

Wheel worked great to raise and lower drill press table. Too bad I had to junk the Porter - castle drill press..

Great Wheel when you tap on it you think you are hitting metal. Very strong construction and with the 3 screws to hold the shaft it will fit any handle shaft.

Produkt wurde für Holzdrehbankspindel verwendet, Teil war nirgends zu bekommen, durch Zufall kam ich auf die Firma DONDYANG, hier wurde mir Per Mail technisch alles besprochen und Sonderteil kam in 14 Tagen. Firma kann ích nur bestens empfehlen, sehr korrekt und freundlich, Danke.

Very good quality, i've purchase this many times.great communication from the supplier. Will buy again when i need it.

Replaced the wheel on the lathe

Robust replacement wheel . Need to be sure the solid center has enough meat to accept your shafts. My machine is 17mm. So barely enough, but metal center is steel alloy of some kind. ÷Added÷ I've since broken this wheel I bought for My milling machine by dropping something heavy on the spinner. I roughed up the break and repaired it nicely with J B weld. Now it's on my table saw. this company sent me another 8" wheel as a gift. Didnt need to.Im very happy with this small business. quality products. Also,I re-tapped the collar to American size and use Allen screws. Nothing to it
