Cast iron mini lathe metal handwheels

[Ik4771]

Been eyeing these on ebay for sometime but there kind of pricey, have looked for videos and other reviews but can't find any, so was wondering if any of yall had bought these and do you recommend them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174209976139. Thanks for any input.

Do you want to replace your current hand wheels for some specific reason, or do you just like the looks of those more than what's on the lathe?

I've been watching these on ebay. I need one for my drill press elevating knob. They're 6" wheels, but are sure a lot cheaper than yours.

I'm just tired of the plastic ones and like the way these look.

If the wheels help operating the lathe easier, it's not a bad idea .

3" - 6" Dish Spoked Cast Iron Hand Wheel Chrome-plated for Lathe Milling Grinder | eBay

It is widely used in industrial machine tools, such as milling machine, lathes, grinders etc. The handwheel is engineered with four spokes, economical and well made. Material: Cast iron. Bore: rough machining ( without thread ).

I’ve purchased a couple of these a while ago. Not perfect,,,, but for the low cost I’m more than happy and would definitely buy again from same buyer. You will have to bore and broach keyways. But the chrome plate is pretty damned good and the castings are fine. And they are going to cost 50.00 each. In fact....I was so pleased...I bought a couple just for stock. Was afraid seller wouldn’t be around if I needed another.

I bought two of these for my mill from this seller; if you buy two there is a discount. They are excellent quality and arrived quickly.

This look pretty nice but there's not a built up spot on the 3 inch for the handle

I recently purchased a replacement cross-slide handle for my Craftsman 6" from Grizzly. Just found something that looked about right on a current machine and ordered the replacement part. Think it was about $15, I did have to cut a key slot but very happy with the result.
