PM-935TS/TV Milling Machine "Handwheel" replacement
Hi folks
after watching James (Clough42) video where he put a handwheel on his V-mill I knew I wanted one as well. it took a bit of lathe work to bring a large piece of aluminum down to the results you see in the video. the hub-to-hub bolts are M6-1.0 & the main bolt (holding the handwheel on) is 5/6"x18 tpi w/a 1/8" thick washer. the handwheel is 12 3/4" across & has 5 evenly spaced spokes. the handwheel is a bit out of true I noticed when using rapid return from all the way down but that's probably to be expected from a ring ,5 spokes & a hub setup & doesn't bother me.
