Where Can I Get Machine Handles?

Im looking for some handles for a milling machine, not the complete thing just the little knobs that screw in. The ones I need are 3/8 whitworth thread.

Someone posted a link to a website on here a while back which had loads at very reasonable prices. But I cannot find tbe thread anywhere.

Anyone know?

Not a lot of choice, but: take a look at:

Arc Euro do some, but just the same as those from wds above they are metric thread - look under machine spares

bore out the thread, loctite in a bush and re-thread metric? Loads of offerings for 6 or 8mm threads.

Arc currently have some 6mm threaded revolving handles in their clearance section.

Have a look at the "WDS" webpage. I have their catalogue and it stocks all of these sort of things.

Thats the one, WDS! I'll take a look. Thanks. 

I can make the handles if I need to, I was just hoping they where so cheap it wasn't worth while. 🤞😊

Or the other way around perhaps. Cut the thread off the knob, then drill, tap and install/loctite a suitable piece of threaded rod

My Eagle grinder used 3/8" Whitworth thread handles on the hand wheels but they were all rotten and rusted.. I bought M10 handles from Axminster and just ran a M10 tap through. Worked perfect and only a tenner for three.

Why not make them yourself? Easy enough to do out of a bit of aluminium.

Yes for fixed versions, but perhaps not for the ones I exampled - the revolving ones on the Arcceuro site.
