1943 Monarch 12"CK Lever/Handle Needed

[jwillis44]

Anyone help me out with this handle that is broken on my lathe?

Or if you happen to have the oil reservoir above that handle. I might try to just 3d print that.
Thanks!!

Looks like the sort of thing that a machinist could make.

Holly cow I’m thinking that making it is indeed the way to go. Just got prices from Monarch.

I'm surprised they can even supply them, not suprised at the pricing. It is, after all, a Monarch, and the parts have probably been in inventory for 80 years.

Should be pretty easy to fabricate, and make it look almost identical for about $10 or less in material. Mike

Not a hand wheel is it , or could one be used ?

Probably looked much like the two levers further to the right.

I didn't measure, but from looking at mine, they ?may? be interchangeable, other than the drilling for the taper pins.

Yeah, they are all the same casting with different taper pin locations. Hand drilled I believe. I found a handle that fits. Doesn’t have the locking pin, but doesn’t seem to want to pop out when I use so I’ll go with that for now.
