Rotating Machine Knobs with Full Ball bearings

For enhancing machine lathes and Mills

The rotating knobs supplied with Chinese lathes and mills are of notoriously poor quality:  In operation they can become sticky and suffer from internal ovaling wear.

I have now designed, tested and produce direct replacement rotating knobs,  fitted with high quality internal ball race bearings.  For enhancing mini mills and lathes or other machines requiring a smooth low friction operation.

 

Presently in thread sizes M6, in progress  M8 and Longer lengths. Proposed lengths  30 , 40 mm  50 mm & 70 mm  in standard 19 mm widths.

 

Advantages

•  Smooth low friction operation. 

• Long life

• The 30 mm shorter length rotating knob for lathe tool post slides.is less likely to interfere with other devices on the bed e.g. the tailstock.

• Black Acetal hard Plastic. Wider at 18 mm which makes it more comfortable to operate than the standard thinner metal.

•  Fitted using a 4 or 5 mm Allen key, this is an optional purchase as its a common tool.
